Today is Epiphany, also known as Twelfth Night, the last day of Christmas. Christians around the world celebrate Epiphany as the day the Three Wise Men reached Bethlehem and presented the Christ Child with gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh (of course, these days the gifts would be more like smartphones, i-pads, and play stations, but no matter). This is also the day when most people ask themselves that heart-wrenching question: should we take the Christmas tree down today? As for me, I just put the damn thing up December 23rd, so I have no intention of taking it down yet. Perhaps next weekend. Of course, on the other hand, the week after that is the three day Martin Luther King Day weekend, so perhaps that would be the best day to take down the tree. And for that matter, I will have a lot of free time Memorial Day weekend, too. Decisions, decisions. In any case, Happy Twelfth Night To One And All!
