Dilemma

[Spartacus]

With the 12th night already passed, I'm still getting late Christmas cards (post delays)

My dilemma is should I put them up or store them / dispose of them ?

If I put them up past the 12th night then does tradition apply and they have to stay up for 12 months ?

If I don't put them up. Is it disrespectful to the people who sent them ?

What are other people doing with delayed Christmas cards ?

Putting them in a pile on the kitchen table!

That has reminded me that the rest of mine are still stuck on my living room door.

I thought I had taken all the decorations down yesterday.

****. That's how long bad luck? A year? 😶

Put them up until Candlemass.

[SpringTime]

Put them up for 12 days. Then burn them.

I keep all my Xmas cards for years.

Put them up next Christmas, and hey presto, you're twice as popular!...

Bin em, I am

LOL thats what my parents did for years - cards everywhere hung on the walls.

And then we collected holly and Ivy and that went everywhere too.

We received quite a few yesterday and added them to our 'display'. People have taken the time to choose and send them and written newsy messages inside, seems a shame just to leave them in a pile/drawer/bin. Took all other decorations down yesterday so hope that covers the 'bad luck' thing...

I got two cards today - gonna open them in a mo and put them on mantelpiece with the others. Only fair to the kind senders.

And the Xmas tree stays until it starts to shed, last year that was March!!

You keep your tree in the shed?

Change of mind, it was getting sort of depressing still having them up. Lots missing still, and we'll of course put any more that arrive on display for a while, as kidkruger says its only fair to the senders - and they can swell the number of birthday cards later this month (if I get any :) )
