The tradition of putting wreaths on doors and walls started in the 7th century B.C. when tree branches were used to crown the winners of the Olympic games. When exactly the wreath moved from the head to the door is unknown but the athletes probably hung their crowns on their wall and it took off from there.
One of the most popular holiday decorations is the Christmas wreath. Christmas wreaths are hung on doors, windows, fences, gates, from the stairway with garland or over the fireplace and used as centerpieces or advent wreaths on the table. Homes or offices don’t seem festive during the holiday season without this favorite decoration. Many people with second homes they don’t use during the holiday season still make sure there’s a wreath on the door to share the spirit of the season with their neighbors.

The beauty of your garden doesn’t have to stop with the plant
life itself. The animals that the plants attract can be just as
beautiful. Colorful and attractive hummingbirds and butterflies
are amazing animals that add a wonderful natural element to a
landscape. Hummingbirds are unique in that they are one of the
fastest flying birds. In contrast, butterflies move slowly so you
can even hold them to admire their wonderful colors.

A story book for Christmas was created in 1939 during the time of the great depression. The story was created for the Chicargo based Montgomery Wards Department Stores featuring a new character called Rudolph. One of the highlights for the Christmas season was for parents to take their children for a visit to large department stores such as Montgomery Wards to visit Santa, sit on his knee and receive a gift. For many years the Montgomery Wards Santa gave away from his Christmas sack a specially printed Christmas color-in book. The store wanted to save money and do something different so it gave one of its stores copywriters, 34 year old Rudolph L May the job of coming up with a story. May was said to be taunted as a child because he was shy and small in statue. It is believed that the idea of being ostracized came from his own personal experiences. May created Rudolph with similar problems who in the end rises above his problems and is transformed.

Do you face each Christmas season with a sense of foreboding, knowing that once again your best efforts aren’t going to measure up to the Johnsons down the street and their electronic flying reindeer and you are doomed to be the butt of many neighborhood jokes until the New Year?
