The Wreath and Garland 

Today we studied the symbolism of

the wreath and garland during our school

devotion time. 

Evergreens = His gift

of everlasting life …the wreath is a

circle that never ends just like His

    love…

we thought about how many people

put WREATHS on their doors

without knowing that !  We 

committed to remember WHY the

wreath is on our door and saying

thank you for it each time we see it !

December 2010 Advent begins! 030

The tots were so funny trying to

say the ‘th’ sound in wreath….

Wreath -in a circle…

After the story all the kids start

working on their December calendar

booklets and advent books. Here is

Miss Grade One starting on her

wreath page.

December 2010 Advent begins! 038 J is for Jesus.

Then we added this fantastic

keepsake that our very own Auntie

Jen made with with her 3 little ones.

I decided just to make one with all

my kids hands instead of 6

individual wreaths.

But…Now you know why!

{ ONE of the neighbors

asked if we celebrate Christmas,

I guess b/c we put our

lights on the

back of the house so

we can see them when we do

advent, and we only

decorate the front of the

house with garland and

wreaths }
