Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Twelfth Night in Harringay
There's a bit of confusion as to whether 12th night falls on the 5th or 6th, but it seems that the balance of opinion favours the 5th. So tonight's the night folks.
This all leaves Liz in fear and trembling for the consequences on the morrow. So here are her tips on how to be a good Harringaite and dispose of your Christmas tree thoughtfully.
In the meantime here are a couple of links with a little more about Twelfth Night (Wikipedia & BBCh2g2). Did you know that Yuletide is derived from the Viking festival of Jarlstag (Earl's Day)?

Coincidentally the RSC are currently showing Twelfth Night at the Duke of York's Theatre with the fabulous Richard Wilson as Malvolio... http://www.rsc.org.uk/whatson/8742.aspx

As my two half-Russian nieces would like to have the best of both worlds by having another Christmas on January 7, I think we may have to risk the wrath of gremlins and goblins by keeping our tree up till January 18/19. I suppose since they're only half-Russian we should in future negotiate an (un)orthodox compromise between Julian and Gregorian calendars. This would allow us to have our second Christmas on the Gregorian New Year's Eve, so we could dump our tree on Wightman Road by, say, Jan 11/12 - in time for LBH street cleaners, or whoever, to haul it off somewhere for recycling before Jan 16.
Advice earnestly sought on any aspect of the above.
