It’s Christmas time in Maine.

Red berry Christmas wreath in Rockport, Maine.

You can tell by all the simple and charming wreaths on doors, barns, lamposts, churches, mailboxes, and jeeps.

They look absolutely perfect on our New England architecture.

Wreaths are used in many cultures and often relflect the idea of strength or eternity.

(In Maine, they often stay up until spring arrives.)

Wreath at Sunnyside Gardens, Bangor, Maine.

Wishing everyone all the joys and happiness this season brings!

Or as Mike Crosson heard on the radio — “During this holy season, I wish you a Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, Merry Festivus, Happy Kwaanza, and for all you atheists – have a nice day.”

In the spirit yet?
