Christmas wreath - It is getting close to The holidays are again and this means digging out excersize equipment and lights. This is my favorite time of the year so I have accumulated many decorations. Each year I think I need to have the boxes and discard or donate things that I no longer use, but it's difficult to part with anything since many items are attached to fond memories. Furthermore, i like to buy something new annually to add to the collection also to add variety for 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 individuals would pull out every one of the decorations well before Christmas this coming year so we could examine what we have.
I came across that I had obtained a Christmas wreath at the end of the season last year, and had completely forgotten which i snagged it in an after-season sale. It is a pre-lit Christmas wreath and is suited to indoor or outdoor use. Once i bought it I had chose to use it by our light post in front of the house. When I told my buddy (who lives around) that I had forgotten about buying a wreath, he had a pretty good laugh at my expense -- especially because I'd just ordered a Christmas wreath from the boy scouts. I told him that 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 enjoy it for his home.
We experienced the many plastic storage containers filled with ornaments, lights, figurines and other holiday decorations. We were able to fill two bins with items that we would donate towards the local Goodwill store. Goodwill was extremely pleased to see pre-holiday donations, since they oftentimes have to store post-holiday donations for an entire year before they are able to resell to their customers. The needy would miss out for an entire year.
Goodwill was pleased with the donation that they offered us a choice of two gifts -- an attractive Christmas wreath or evergreen garland. The wreaths and garland were donated by way of a local tree grower. We selected the garland since we had the pre-lit wreath as well as the fresh Christmas wreath coming from the boy scouts. The garland was six feet long and would be a great addition to our mantel. My buddy and spouse couldn't believe that I went to Goodwill to get rid of decorations then came home with a brand new item. I obviously was thrilled with the addition of the fresh garland for our home.
