Every year, as a gift to readers, I buy a wreath from Suzy aka Georgia Peachez for this giveaway. Thank you, readers, for being THE BEST. I luv you! Suzy always jumps to help out. She gave me a great price (her wreaths now sell for $250! each!) — and quick as I asked, she made this special wreath just for us. She said:

Pam, I made a wreath with my two favorite elements, a knee hugger elf and a reindeer.

Heck to the yeah, knee hugger elf and reindeer! Thank you, Suzy!

    Oh my goodness, what a GORGEOUS wreath! I’ve always wanted to make one to go with my NINE aluminum trees, but still haven’t found the time. This would make a great addition to all of my mid-century decor. Merry Christmas!

    I love this wreath! I am thinking about trying one myself, but aside from quilting and knitting, I am not that crafty. My husband and I just bought our dream retirement home- a 1961 almost time capsule in Wedgwood, Tulsa. We are looking forward to decorating it for Christmas. The large front windows in the sunken living room are just perfect for a large tree.

    And the double front doors are just begging for a wreath like the one above!

    Family get together may be the core of the season, but I look forward to decorating the most. I keep adding more trees to accommodate my ornaments, and this year we moved from an 850 square foot loft to a big 1957 time capsule home. Room for even MORE trees and decor!

    To me Christmas is all about the Spirit of Christmas Past. My mother has been gone for 25 years now but she joins us during the holiday season. I bring out my her cookie cutters, her mixing bowls and her recipes. Her Christmas decorations, some of them 75 years old, adorn our tree. What a great time of year.

    The day after Thanksgiving I am powerless to resist going into full blown retro Christmas decorating frenzy. It would seem a shame not to share it all after putting so much into it. Inviting everyone in my church, as well as any community members who would like to join us, for a Christmas party the first Saturday in December is something I look forward to each year. Georgia Peachez is truly the queen of Shiny Brite crafting. So far I have not managed to hoard more Shiny Brites than are needed to trim my trees.

    My favorite part of the holiday season is the feeling of warmth and generosity that it brings to the darkness. From the decorations, food, music and kindness all around, to making hot soup or burning a fire in the hearth.

    The wreath is adorable and we would love to win it and have the perfect spot for it!

    My favorite part of the holiday season is when my sister and I exchange our “ugly” ornaments that we spend the entire year on the prowl for.

    We have special trees where we display all from years past.

    My favorite thing about the holidays, especially decorating for the holidays is revisiting the memories. Even if that memory is the 2nd grade ornament you made and your mom made sure you have it now.
