How long is your Christmas?

Doesn't it always surprise you how many shops will have their Christmas decorations before November and then remove them with incredible speed as the New Year arrives? No surprise then that after weeks of preparation, Christmas whizzes by and we wonder where the time has gone. Personally, I think that we should leave the decorations until Christmas eve, and follow the Polish custom of leaving them there until the feast of Candlemas (February 2nd), which would allow us to appreciate Christmas for longer, and then keep the new year blues at bay!
