Advent Wreath

I try to make an Advent wreath every year both to decorate our home and observe the time of preparation for Christmas. I was a week late this year but we caught up on the second Sunday.

Branches courtesy of Hunter Tree Farms. We have bought a tree from them most years and they are graciously willing to let us glean the torn branches off of the ground and around the trunk trimming area.



Step one--assembling the wreath with the help of some florist's wire.



Enhancing with cedar bits and berry sprays.



Finished wreath on the table on Christmas day. We took turns reading the collects for each Sunday from the Book of Common Prayer as we lit each candle. Next year we will choose from the Family Prayer Book that I made for Jonathan this year.
