Today is Candlemass. It's 6 weeks since Christmas and the day that the last of your Christmas decorations are put away. Apparently the queen has hers taken down today.
I have put one of my nativities away, I am struggling with the other two.
I will try and add a photo later.

Yesterday I noticed we’d left a gold leafy decoration up so it will now have to stay there till next Christmas.

	There is a lot to be said for being part of a group, and the support and friendship that is gained from this.
