Abnormal

There's snow in Sevenoaks and Westerham Hill is impassible but here- a few miles to the south east- all we've had is rain. There's a forecast for even grungier weather to come.

My friend Jazzy D says there's no reason why we shouldn't keep our Christmas decorations up until Candlemas- which is Feb 2. It's what the medievals did. According to the Guardian a lot of people have had the same idea. Normally I'd have taken everything down by now but these are not normal times- and never will be again.

Dave is right, but I tend to go with twelv'night.

Usually I've had enough of twinkly things by 12th night but this year is different.

The tree stays!

That is relieving, considering that we have not managed to take ours down yet, either.

Usually I take them down shortly after Christmas because I've had enough of twinkly things but this year is different.
