Best 8 holiday wreaths to buy right now!
Wreaths are a lovely symbol of celebration this time of year - and great fun to shop for! A now-ancient clipping from the New York Times - all the way back in … 1988 … had a comprehensive look at the wreath’s meaning and messages at the holiday. “Early Romans gave gifts of green branches at New Year's, bestowing the wish for health and vigor upon friends and family. Eventually, the branches were shaped into wreaths, symbols of joy and victory in classical times.” And going on to say “Hung on the door or a window, the wreath has been viewed as an invitation to the spirit of Christmas to enter the home and bring luck, suggesting as well that the Christmas spirit dwells within.”
