Diary - I've just read an article

I've just read an article about when to take down a Christmas tree. I'm surprised that if we don't remove the decorations after the Twelfth Night, it might bring bad luck. My tree has been up for two years. Maybe I should stash it away after Christmas to see if I will have more good luck.

You do know that you don't have to believe everything you read, don't you?

Added: Technically, "I was surprised to learn" is better.

It's the generally accepted official name for January 6th (twelve nights after Xmas).

It's actually January 5th. It marks the end of Christmas, not that it's celebrated where I'm from.
