Twelfth Night

Color of the day:  Silver
Incense of the day:  Maple
 

A traditional song for the end of the Yule season opens:


Down with the rosemary and bay,
Down with the mistletoe.


This day is traditionally known as Twelfth Night, the last of the twelve days of Christmas. It's time now to take down your decorations; in fact, many people believe keeping them up after this day will bring bad luck. If you still want some decoration in your living space now, generic winter fare such as plain white lights or greenery will have to do. Extra plants can keep the winter blues away and the air fresh.


Notes:
Holiday lore: Twelfth Night celebrations in cultures around the world call for cake-baking. In France, the cake is called Galette des Rois (the King's Cake); in England, the cake has lucky charms baked inside it, and in Mexico, the cake is crown-shaped.
