I'm sure you've had one in your basement...

For all of those "extra" ambitious people today, if you find one of these stuffed in a box of hardly used Christmas decorations, please throw it out!


This particular item was highly prized for it's ability to always look "new" and "fresh" in the winter time.  Because it is made of man-made materials, it didn't get brown over time like some other wreaths.  At one point, it was considered to be at the height of a fashionable Christmas party.  

Let's think for a moment of some descriptive titles for this once-desired holiday item.  

Plastic.  Vintage greenery.  Artificial Christmas.  Nostalgic

Some of these were decked with "realistic" holly berries.  Others were filled with pine-cones and bright bows.  But, honestly, can you hide the plastic leaves?  This ancient Christmas decoration is right up there with silver and/or multicolored tinsel and scary angel figurines.  Let's keep our Christmas decoration storage free of such artificial holly wreaths!
