This is the wreath my mom made for me. You can't really tell in the photo, but it was really well done and it had little instruments and scraps of sheet music. I liked it so much that I bought a special container just for storing a wreath. Of course, I broke the lid when I was taking it out of the trunk and, my luck, the store had no others left. No way to buy a new one till next Christmas. Bummer!

Here is my fireplace decorated for the Holidays. Note the date (my mom went crazy right after we finished Thanksgiving dinner). It certainly made the place feel at lot more like home. Taking everything down was a bitch!
