“Having a fresh garland or two in your house over Christmas is always a good investment. Drape one from your porch, for a very grand entrance; pop one on your mantelpiece, woven around pillar candles and baubles; place one on your dining table with tall taper candles, plush velvet bows and talking point trinkets nestled throughout. And as for a beautifully made wreath on the front door? What could make a better winter homecoming.”
