I Hate Wreaths
Seriously, symbolism and good cheer aside - they're incredibly dumb. Allow me to describe them me-style:
"I know - let's hang a large plant arrangement on a swinging verticle surface. Let's make it several INCHES deep, and let's do it at the time of year that we're most likely to be going in and out of our home with our arms full of luggage and gift bags."
That's right, not only are you impeded from coming and going - you also feel bad every time you crash into them. It's good to have nice things ... I don't put nice things in places where they get in my way and are likely to get bashed about.
I don't hold it against the person that thought up wreaths - in fact it calls out to me as something that has quite probably been misinterpreted and made dumb over the years. What gets me is the people that look at wreaths how they exist NOW and think that they're a good idea. They're not.
