Just my imagination

[kellinator]

Thanks to all of you who took my Christmas lights poll. I must not have been paying much attention when I made it, because I, as so many of you pointed out, put "Northeast" instead of "Northwest" and left California out altogether. And to think I was so proud of myself for remembering to include all the continents...

So anyway, my hypothesis was that getting the lights down by New Year's was a Southern thing, while Northerners wait for Twelfth Night. Looking at the results, it appears I was mistaken. I haven't found a clear correlation between region and tradition. You learn something new every day. Even if it's really not that important.

I dont think I know a single person, north or south who cares at all about "twelfth night". If people up north have their lights up this late in the season its because there 3+ feet of snow on the ground and its a pain to get them. ;)
