[WonderCod]

i ahave a new one this year - the old one did 10 years.
no i dont make my frigging own

A cheapo one in case someone nicks it.

i have a meattlic dark blue one
god that sounds monstrous

its nice
mark and spencer
goes iwht ice blue lights

LOVE the feather ones you can get

Nb 10 years ago think we were hte only poeple to have them
ditto fairy lights on trees int eh late 80s - parents had white oens that caused quite a stir

we have a fibreoptic one, ds loves it

Haven't ever had one but may do this year as we now live in a cottagey looking house.

loev fibre optic

yes you need a modern one fo a modren hosue deffo

I buy a holly wreath from the stall in the market. Just holly with berries and I might add some red ribbon. I love the traditional christmas greenery - I also wreath ivy and holly everywhere inside the house.

i am too idel for that

I've got to make about 30 for the school christmas fair next weekend. Did the same last year and sold every single one (looks very smug with self). We live near a river so loads of willow. Just get a branch and bend round into a cirle. Wrap some ivy round it (small leaves look best) and a bit of ribbon (I used stuff from ikea with little stars last year - tinsel OK but more OTT). And thats it. They look fab.

not hast one to put o graves malroy

I want to get one this year.

But how do I hang it on the door? (I don't want to bag a nail in obviously)

you get a hooky thing

I like the sound of Katherines 'bend a bit of willow' wreath...now..where might I find a willow tree in Plymouth city centre???

Thin thread through the wreath. Pass it over the top of the door and stick it with (loads of ) sellotape on the inside. Works fine.

Never had one. How do you hang one on a upvc front door?

home made willow woven with home made rush decorations!

yep, made by me.

i shall just toddle off & knit some lentils whilst i warm my cosy sandal wearing feet in front of my real fire.
(actually desperately jealous of cod's modern wreath. d'ya think dh would get me the modern houe to go wit it?)

never had one but if we did I think it would have to be smething like feathers so that it did least damge oif lobbed at the front window..

do they represent something like the completeness of the year

Thanks, will have a look in Homebase. And Woollies too.

(Malory, you are turning into Cod you know!)

DH made a lovely one with holly from the garden last year. He was very proud of his "Blue Peter moment"!

My front door has a glass pane on it... how could I attach a wreath to it?? I'd love to have one!!

zippi, here's a brief explanation re wreaths .

There are a number of Pagan Mnetters could explain further/find better sites (sorry if that's the wrong term btw!) I find it interesting too.
