Many Americans choose Christmas Greenery to decorate their homes for the holidays.
There’s a good reason – Christmas greenery makes your home feel cozy and inviting during the Xmas season. Nowadays, you have many different decorations you can choose from, but Christmas decorations, such as wreaths, garlands, bows, swags, centerpieces and of course Christmas trees are most popular.
A major reason why Christmas Greenery beats most artificial decorations is that its made from natural, 100% bio-degradable material. Its mostly made from evergreen plants, such as fir, spruce and pine.
While Christmas trees are harvested and need to be replanted to replenish, Christmas Greenery is cut from live trees without actually cutting down the whole plant. This means that the branches you cut from the tree can regrow easily within a year.
Can you imagine anything more inviting into a home than the fresh smell of pine, mixed with flavor of cinnamon and nutmeg from freshly baked Christmas cookies and spiced cider?
Christmas wreaths are probably one of the oldest holiday decorations. They were first used in Northern Europe, where winters were harsh and days were short. An evergreen wreath represented everlasting life to Christians in two way – by means of the greenery (pine, holy, ivy) that stays green throughout the long winter, and by the fact that the circular wreath represents eternity.
Christians referred to the wreath as Advent wreath. It was decorated with 4 candles representing the 4 Sundays of advent ahead of the Christmas holiday.
Christmas trees on the other hand became popular in Northern Germany in the early 1800′s, then spread out all over Europe and America. The Christmas tree and all kinds of Christmas greenery became the symbol of the holiday season. They were even adopted by other faiths or in countries with less religious meaning.
Artificial Christmas Greenery has replaced the natural, evergreen decorations for many households. However, nothing compares to a real noble fir wreaths, pine cone decorated centerpieces, and spruce door swags. In today’s society they represent true value, environmental concern and give you a connection to nature in your home.
