It’s Christmas time in 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.)

Wishing everyone all the joys and happiness this season brings!
