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!

    My favorite part of Christmas holidays is (frivolity answer) telling the guys that No, they cannot put that Brett Favre ornament on the tree and then they sneak it on in the back…….

    Love love love the old decs! My mom was scaling back her vast collection of 58 years – and my brothers and sister didn’t want anything!! All for me! Looks great in my 1943 on-going project-we-live-in. This site is just the best source of info. Keep up the great work!

  5. Ky Sanders says

    My favorite part is decorating the tree with Christmas carols turned way up. We have been collecting ornaments since my wife and I were newly married, so it’s like a trip down memory lane when we pull them out and remember when and where we got them.

  6. John Mercer says

    I love the sheer overabundance of the holidays, too much food, too much drink and shiny, glittering decorations everywhere and spending special times with family and friends.

  7. Cyd says

    I love thinking reminiscing about the people and places behind all the decorations around my home, and family members’ homes, from Christmases past.

  8. Leslie says

    My favorite holiday traditional is decorating the tree while sipping eggnog and listening to Christmas oldies on the hi-fi.

    Love this gorgeous wreath!

  9. Kathryn says

    I love the smell of evergreens and the lighted candles (real or fake) in windows. They make the world seem warm and bright at the coldest, darkest time of year!

  10. Mary Hughes says

    Love these wreaths, especially the ones with the elves because my mom decorated with those when I was little. I would put this one front & center for Christmas in my house!
