Actually, January 5th is 12th night, the 12th day of Christmas and last night before Epiphany.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2013: That Was the Year That Was
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Thanksgivukkahmas, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Out you go, 2013!

From what I hear Sue, you're lucky you still get mail at all. So weird.
You mean them talking about getting rid of all delivery to houses? Yeah, that did not go down very well with the public, so they've backed away for now.

Right on, I guess I conflated Epiphany, 12th night, and Three King's Day all being on Jan 6.
No king cake till Jan 6!

I am having friends over for dinner tomorrow and I'm going to try to make a Galette des roi. I've made Franipane before, and I'm using store-bought puff pastry, so it shouldn't be too difficult.

Hey I get (real) king cake when I can.

I would take all the king cake I could have, but it's not a thing around here. Also, I'd have to buy a whole one, and then I'd EAT it. (I still remember when one of my coworkers had a trip to New Orleans or Baton Rouge for work, and came back with a king cake! We all traveled so much we didn't usually do that sort of thing, but it was awesome)

Yep, I checked with the Internet before posting:

I'd have had zero idea otherwise.

I don't think I've ever had king cake, certainly not real king cake. Seems like a serious omission.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
It's not a real king cake unless it has olive spread, though so...
