Where did that come from? There are 12 days of Christmas. Christmas STARTS on December 25 (actually the evening of the 24th) it doesn’t END then. Leave them up till January 6.
.
Heck, OLD Christmas (Julian Calendar) is January 7th, and many in the East still celebrate on that date.
Someone yesterday said it was time Skeezix and Nina got a caregiver. That was part of the “Death of Walt” storyline I had plotted out years ago—after Walt’s funeral, I would have included a scene with Skeezix, Nina and Gertie, where Gertie said she’d have to look for another position. Skeezix and Nina would then point out that they were getting up in years themselves, and ask if Gertie would like to help them out.Walt was what, 107? when Gertie was hired after the Eve debacle. Skeezix will be 96 in February, and even though he and Nina seem pretty self-sufficient, it’s something to consider.
It’s not necessarily a bad thing. There are certain communities in the mid-Western United States that celebrate a holiday called Ukranian Christmas, which I believe falls on the seventh of January. In those neighborhoods, seeing lights on through mid-January is common.

Hmmm. First, black ornaments, now this. I have a feeling 2017 is going to be the year Walt dies.

Take it down. The bad luck might be a whole month of Joel and Rufus, with some cat food commercials on Sundays.
