I’ve been spending idle minutes trying to reconcile the arithmetic. Twelve nights after…when? 24th or 25th December? Naeh. Do it with me: (24), 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 1, 2, 3, 4, (5) = 12 nights. So 6th Jan is a no-no.
What I’m leading up to, is that the Chariot Competitions should be starting today, not tomorrow. Are you there, Mr OZ?

Both are correct. 😀
This Wiki page explains the apparent dichotomy.
Mrs FEEG is, right now, in the process of undecorating the Christmas Tree. I am acting in a supervisory role!
I’m here, Auntie Backside and will discuss the matter with the NSW over lunch.
FEEG – Supervisory roles are usually thirst-inducing. You know what to do.

Thanks for the Wiki link, Bearsy. I shall be baking my Galette des Rois tomorrow to take to granddaughters on Monday, because the French feel that one can celebrate the Feast of the Kings any time in January. This pleasant tradition can make the month of January pass quite quickly and easily.
I do hold to getting the decorations down by 5th January in case the goblins come. This was a good method of getting children, who were always keen to decorate but never so eager to undecorate, to help. I hope that the date for the competitions can be sorted without nasty little creatures interfering.
How’s this for timing?
I’ve just finished the last slice of Christmas cake, the last thing I need is goblins pestering me.
You old appeaser, you! 🙂
Sheona, “I hope that the date for the competitions can be sorted without nasty little creatures interfering.” If you eman Backside, you’re a a better man than I am (etc.)! He’s been a pain since i can’t remember when.
No, Janus, I was not referring to Backside, but to the goblins – perhaps trolls in your neck of the woods – who are supposed to appear if one h
as I was saying … if one has not taken down the Christmas decorations by Twelfth Night. Christmas cards all removed and the next batch already bought.
Not wanting to court disaster, all Christmas decorations have been removed and stored away until next year.
Actually, it’s quite late for me, I usually remove them earlier.
Competitions set earlier. Fight it out amongst yourselves.
