Oh I remember those old lights very much, and my dad insisting he put them up by himself. A man of the house thing I guess.

I remember from a previous post that you make your wreath every year from the garden. What a great tradition, as well as waiting until after the 4th wk of Advent. It seems the holiday is so rushed now days with shops putting up decorations and merchandise when Halloween isn't even past.

Are you going to post a photo of the wreath?

Thanks for sharing this with us. A great gift to put under the tree!
