  2. Little Christmas Day

    Share Share Post
    This day is also called the 12th day. Candles are lighted on the Eve and the night of the feast. There is very little fuss about this night. The sweet cakes are again plentiful again and there is an end to them. Back again to the plain fare.
    After this 12th day the decorations are taken down.
    The old people used to say that from the 12th day or 6th January the day lengthens a cock's step till on Candlemas Day they say, "On Candlemas Day."
    "Throw candles and candlesticks away, and eat your supper with the light of the day."
