Growing up, I’ve always wanted to share a Christmas with a fresh tree. I have never seen a Christmas movie where an artificial tree has been used. Going out to get the fresh Christmas tree has always been seen as a joyous tradition. I wanted to experience that. What movies don’t show is the extra cleanup involved. It wasn’t until I saw how much my mother’s friend’s tree “shed”, that I decided that I’d pass on the extra cleanup brought on by a fresh tree.
Wreaths Direct has allowed me to enjoy a fresh Christmas tree in the form of a wreath! They sent us a gorgeous 24 inch Evergreen wreath which has found a home on our front door. It smells so wonderful! Fresh wreaths are just enough for those who don’t want to deal with the maintenance of a fresh tree. Any pieces that fall off can be swept out the door (if your front door leads outside). It’s the piece of fresh Christmas tree I never had!

The fifth generation family owned business specializes in more than just 24 inch wreaths. They offer centerpieces, and specialty wreaths in fun shapes such as candy canes, garland, and crosses. They even offer a “teeny” wreath that can fit inside a coffee mug! Oh and before you order, enter code W0834 to receive free UPS Ground shipping in the USA!
We’d like to help out those who are less fortunate this holiday season, so we’ll be donating some toys to Toys For Tots! But, since there’s only so much we can do, we encourage you to make a donation also. You can donate toys or cash to Toys For Tots, at your nearest Toys For Tots drop-off location. You can also donate a cash gift, online via credit/debit card by visiting the Toys For Tots Online Donation page, or by texting “TOY” to 90999 using your cell phone. With your help, there’s no limit to the amount of smiles we can put on childrens’ faces this year!

I love my wreath too. I live in a condo building and put this beauty right on my front door. I teased with my hubby that if any needles fall, maintenance gets to vacuum it up.
I love my wreath, it is so pretty and fragrant.
I love fresh wreaths and centerpieces. They give of a terrific pine scent …sooo Christmasy!
I love my wreath and have really enjoyed visiting all the other blogs on the train.
I love it! I have never had a real tree or wreath in my life!
We have a neighbor who has been a literal life saver since my husbands heart attack. I sent this to their home and they are so thrilled with it.
They look really nice. I love a real wreath!
