Are we still in the Twelve Days of Christmas?

Can’t tell at the Skinner household, because the tree goes up in mid-November and is still there.

This star is on our chimney year round.

Until this year, when I didn’t change the lights in the fall in time for the first snow storm, we have lit it from the first snow until the snow leaves the ground.

Nevertheless, it is a symbol of the star followed by the Three Wise Men to find the baby Jesus.

Although I changed the lights before Christmas, one has already burned out.

In fact, it did not last a week.

Poor quality control at the Chinese factory that made it, I guess.
