A few days later, UPS delivered a white box and a wreath printed on the front. My excitement got my kids wondering what could be in this box.
They hung around while I opened the top and we all peeked in.
Both of them let out a
wow it's a Christmas treeto which I replied "almost" because it certainly did smell like one! The smell was amazing!
Who doesn't love the smell of fresh cut pine?
While I thought about pulling my Autumn wreath off the door and placing the Evergreen
wreath there, the smell made me not want to waste it on the door. Why not put it in the
house so that we could enjoy the aroma? So that is exactly what we did. I have a raised
ranch which means when you open my front door you are greeted by walls and stairs. The
first thing you see when you step in is the wall where one of my paintings hung. I
removed the painting and placed the wreath. The aroma is there but I don't get to see
the wreath so I doubt I will keep it there for long. The wreath is beautiful and I want to
look at it. I might take down some photos and hang it above the fireplace. As the air in
the living room gets warm from the fire the scent from the wreath will permeate the house.
It is like having a little Christmas tree nice and early. Since we get a live tree, we usually don't put it up until the 2nd weekend in December. The wreath is a great way to add a holiday touch to the house while we wait for the Christmas tree.
