Christmas wreath
Christmas wreath - It is getting close to Christmas time again and this means digging out excersize equipment and lights. This is my favorite time of the year and so i have accumulated many decorations. Annually I think I need to feel the boxes and discard or donate items that I no longer use, but it is difficult to part with anything since several items are attached to fond memories. I also like to buy something new every year to add to the collection also to add variety towards the decorations. My spouse tells me that we do not have room for some thing in the storage area and so i either need to not buy anything or eliminate some things. We decided that we would pull out every one of the decorations well before Christmas this season so we could sort through what we have.
I discovered that I had got a new Christmas wreath at the end of the season last year, and had completely forgotten i snagged it in an after-season sale. It's a pre-lit Christmas wreath and is ideal for indoor or outdoor use. When I bought it I had chose to use it by our light post at the front of the house. When I told my buddy (who lives with us) that I had ignored buying a wreath, he had a great laugh at my expense -- especially because I needed just ordered a Christmas wreath from your boy scouts. I told him this was no big deal because we're able to always put the Christmas wreath that we had ordered on our entry way, or perhaps he'd want it for his home.
We experienced the many plastic canisters filled with ornaments, lights, figurines and other holiday decorations. We managed to fill two bins with items that we would donate for the local Goodwill store. Goodwill was happy to see pre-holiday donations, simply because they oftentimes have to store post-holiday donations with an entire year before they are able to resell to their customers. The needy would lose out for an entire year.
Goodwill was pleased with the donation that they offered us a range of two gifts -- a lovely Christmas wreath or evergreen garland. The wreaths and garland were donated by a local tree grower. We decided on the garland since there were the pre-lit wreath as well as the fresh Christmas wreath from the boy scouts. The garland was six feet long and will be a great addition to our mantel. My friend and spouse couldn't believe that I went to Goodwill to get rid of decorations then came home with a brand new item. I of course was thrilled with the help of the fresh garland for our home.
