Wreaths, Trees, and Christmas Flowers
By editor | December 22, 2008
Finishing touches can be made with wreaths, decorative trees, and Christmas Flowers. Miniature and decorated Christmas trees are perfect for an office desk and wreaths in all sizes can be hung in many locations. And the reality of live evergreens is their superiority in looks and the true, Christmas inspired smell of the needles.
Children would love to find or make small ornaments for these trees and wouldn’t one in the children’s room be a source of fantasy and delight for them? A little girl could have visions of sugarplums and fairies dancing in her head in no time as she drifts off to sleep.
A little boy may love to find and make small toys such as tiny cars or twine some string around some of his own small toys and hang them on a tree in his room.
Why not get your neighbors and friends together and have a miniature ornament making party? You could add the ornaments to the trees you get from 1-800-Flowers, or even hang them as additions on the site’s wreaths. If you did buy an extra gift basket for yourself while you were ordering baskets for friends, you could serve hot cocoa and eat all the goodies at your party. If you also purchased your Christmas Flowers and Poinsettias at 1-800-Flowers your friends will surely ask about them.
Clustering some red Poinsettias in your lobby or lining them up your staircase would be a sight to welcome guests over the holiday period. Christmas trees and wreaths and all the attendant decorations, especially red bows and evergreens, just shout out Christmas, don’t you think. And what about using miniature white lights around your staircase? They would look great with those potted poinsettias.
The wreaths they have at 1-800-Flowers come in all sizes. Measure all the spaces where you might hang some on your walls, and take a look on site to see what may fit best, and what colors will go with your décor. They are all decorated differently.
Don’t forget about pinecones when completing your Christmas decorations. If you cluster them around the base of a Christmas Flower or two, the added look would really tie things together. And you could add glitter to the edges of them by applying glue and then sprinkling on the glitter. If you do this over newspaper you can wrap up any mess or extras, and you won’t be finding the glitter in your eyebrows or hair or other odd places around your house, in the months to come!
And don’t forget the first few verses of the famous poem: ‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
in hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there. The children were nestled all snug in their beds, while visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads. And mamma in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap, had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap - when out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter. Away to the window I flew like a flash, tore open the shutters and threw up the sash. The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow, gave the luster of mid-day to objects below. When, what to my wondering eyes should appear, but a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer.
You can get your own miniature sleigh from 1-800-Flowers. Have a very merry Christmas!
