Christmas Decorating Beginning

Tomorrow is the first Sunday in advent so my mother and I decorated the church on Black Friday. It was much more enjoyable than elbowing through crowds at 2 am. I made this urn wreath to go in front of the pulpit. I got the idea from Better Homes and Gardens.


I took a plain greenery wreath and wedged it in oasis that filled the urn. I also secured the wreath with dowels and tape. I added the sprig of berries and pinecones. I covered the oasis with moss. It turned out beautiful and I was sorely tempted to keep it for myself. 

I also decided to make "peppermint tea" with my "Cup of Christmas Tea" china. If you have never read the story, it is a sweet holiday short story that I first read in middle school. Warning, it will make you tear up. The china in the background was a dollar store find.


My sister, sister-in-law, and I made this wreath for my sister's house. I love the jingle bell holly picks! If she forgets this in her packing, I won't mind using it at all.
