Saint Patrick's Day is Sunday, the 17th of March. Have you taken down your Christmas tree / decorations yet?

According to tradition, you are supposed to have your Christmas greenery down by St. Patrick’s day, or the leprechauns will get you.

Supposedly, the number of leprechauns that come for you will be the same as the number of evergreen needles you have remaining in your house.

Maybe you don’t believe in leprechauns, but is still proper decorum to have your tree down by March 17th in observation of Lent, (thats why many take their tree down before Ash Wednesday, on Mardi Gras perhaps)—either way, prevernal Spring is in the air, and there is change in the air as Springtime is approaching—will be here in about five days,

So, how many of you will have your Christmas decorations put away in time for Saint Patrick’s day?
