Makes a mental note in my head diary...........

*Remember to leave all my shoes out on Wednesday night to be cleaned by the "Tree Elves"*

I hope i got that right!

Arghhhh that reminds me that the neighbours will be partying on Wednesday NOT Thursday I got my calender mixed up.
The 5th here is 3 kings when the little kiddie winkles put out their shoes for the presents the 3 kings should leave them

Oooo I wonder if the neighbours will leave their shoes out >>>>>>evil cackles

HAPPY NEW YEAR everybody

Prickles babes, most definitely not!!!!!! LOL

Barbra, your welcome. Sometimes we all need a timely reminder.

Many thanks to all who put the information on the thread.

A Happy New Year to you all

Actually, talking of ROTFPMSL.............you would'nt want him leaving that sort of deposit on your best carpet either!!!

Yes Prickles Babes, I did notice that. Wonders what he means. LOL

Have you noticed that on Merlins last post, he intoduces himself as ROTFPMSL?

Hello there Prickles Babes, and a very good afternoon to your dear self.
My decorations are of such a refined taste, like myself, that they could also be left about, until next year, 'cos I lubs 'em, also.
However, I have just started my orchid collection, and the words "swinging a cat around" and "shoehorn", readily come to mind.
So, I am afraid they will have to go away until next year.
Now if I hung pickled shallots on me tree, I would get a visit from that young rascal, Merlin, and he may have to fight off me Gay Gordon.
Not into bloodbaths on me best carpet.LOLOL
Take Care

Huh! Well i for one am not taking my decs down until the earliest of next week end cos i lubs em!
And anyway, if you hang a couple of pickled shallots on your tree on the 12th night and go round it a few times doin the Gay Gordons, its keeps them pesky "Tree Elfy Critter Fings" at bay!! So there!

I cant quite remember if someone told me that or i just made it up! :>)))

Julia, I,m ROTFPMSL. Have a good day ( Better than Yesterday ) Take care and keep pickling those Shallots.**M**.:o)>

Oh Merlin, you little rascal you. I am rather partial to a Gay Gordon, myself, the dance that is LOLOL
Happy New Year

Well I've looked and I can't see any elves in my tree,
mind you my tree is fibreoptic. lolx

Happy New year to all.

Rose Those "Tree elves" would probably turn into Brass monkeys in this weather.and regarding the " Gay Gordons" I think they,ve been disbanded now, and its Probably "The Blues and Royals" who are around Hyde Park.**M**.:o)>

ooh no perhaps not then!

"Once this period was over it was necessary to return the greenery back outside to release the tree-spirits into the countryside once again. Failure to do this would mean that vegetation would not be able to start growing again (spring would not return), leading to an agricultural disaster. "

I don't want it to be a case of " when winter comes without a spring that I shall ever see"

I am just perverse ;) I like the sound of the tree elves being around and making life a little less dull lol.

As people have already said . Twelfth night is Wednesday 5th January it's the night before Epiphany on the 6th January.

It doesn't say you have to wait for 12th night only they must be down by then.
