Christmas comes but once a year 
And everyman must have his share
But poor Brother Willy in the jail
Drinking sour ginger beer
Ban !
(Masquerade Toast; Traditional)
The Christmas season officially ended yesterday according to common tradition. It was January 6 – the twelfth day of Christmas, and the last, which culminated in Twelfth Night, celebrated by Christians as the Feast of the Epiphany. For everyone who recognises the tradition it is the last night for the seasonal decorations which must be taken down and all the Christmas lights put out. There are even folk beliefs about what can happen if that is not done.
