Twelfth Night is a Christian holiday marking the coming of the Epiphany and concluding the Twelve Days of Christmas. It is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as "the evening of the fifth of January, preceding Twelfth Day, the eve of the Epiphany, formerly the last day of the Christmas festivities and observed as a time of merrymaking".

Why do people take their Christmas decorations down on Twelfth Night? If you want to avoid bad luck, all your decorations and your Christmas tree should be dismantled on 5 January - or 6 January at the absolute latest

"Twelfth" is such a strange word. Too many consonants together.

"Twelfth Night" is a reference to the twelfth night after Christmas Day, called the Eve of the Feast of Epiphany. It was originally a Catholic holiday and therefore, like other Christian feast days, an occasion for revelry.
