Finally Got the Wreath on the Door

Finally got the Christmas wreath on the door. The electric candles in the windows. All done for decorating now. A difficult time of the year. But I will find ways to help others and that will make the rest of the year pass quickly. Donating toys locally is another good way to help. Toys for Tots is taking donations as always. This year they need more than ever. Helping others will in turn help you. Kindness costs nothing. Share a smile.

@CarolDM I saw a really neat little tree yesterday while at the lab getting blood drawn. I was going to take a photo but I forgot. It was made of Pinecones.

It is really pretty. I had a huge wreath, but I ended up getting rid of it...it just took up way too much space for something only used once per year. Merry Christmas!

Our daughter-in-law and I made new wreaths last year. We put ours up on the day after Remembrance Day. I like a nice wreath, and am glad that you have yours up now.

@CarolDM It breaks my heart to see people waiting for hours in line to have food... when I think how much food many people waste.

It is very lovely! The only thing I have in my boarding house is the set of Christmas lights which my daughter found inside her box. She used it in her room last year but she don't need it now since, they are doing online class. I don't have time to decorate. But I always see to it to give help every time. Have a Merry Christmas!

That wreath is so festive and beautiful. Unfortunately, I did not find our wreath and I am already late in the game. I will try again next year. I agree with you, it does not really cost that much to be kind to someone. We'll never know what the other person is going through, and the kindness we've shown is just the pick me up that is needed.
