Christmas is over

The 12th day, Epiphany, is January 6, 2013, but for the most part, Christmastime is over.  The tree is down and the needles are swept, except for a few that we will find some time in July.  We will also then find a wayward angel or St. Nick in the corner of a bookshelf that didn't find its way onto the shelves in the basement, where the creche, tree ornaments, nutcrackers, stockings, church-mice, placemats, and cups & saucers are now.
