The national and provincial capitals have a longstanding tradition of lighting hundreds of thousands of holiday lights. City streets are festooned with garlands and bows. And well before the nation lights up in its coast-to-coast display of holiday spirit, Canadians across the nation have begun to decorate their homes for the holidays. A cornerstone of this decorative practice is the beloved holiday wreath.\u003cbr\u003eFashioned from just about any material— but most often from regional plants, seeds, berries, fruit, and leaves—wreaths are an important decorative holiday tradition for Canadians. Canadians place them on their front doors, on light standards along heir town’s main boulevard, above their home’s hearth, and just about anywhere where the circlet of festive joy will help boost spirits in winter’s darkest months. In fact, the world’s largest wreath was made in Canada. Built by Canadian Carolann Naugle of Nova Scotia on May 6, 2008, the wreath measured 76.7 metres in diameter and was composed of several tons of brush.\u003cbr\u003eIn European tradition, wreaths are fashioned from plants such as holly, ivy, and mistletoe, which have come to be closely linked to Christmas, though the use of these plants dates back to Europe’s Pagan past. In Canada, the rich symbolism and classic beauty of a wreath is appreciated all year round but the winter holiday season in particular is a popular time for creating wreaths of evergreen, bay, sparkling glass ornaments, lights, holiday treats, and more. A wreath on the door of a Canadian home during the holiday season offers a sign of welcome and warm wishes to visitors\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"West Edmonton Coin \u0026 Stamp","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51175959625860,"sku":"124348","price":207.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0967\/3447\/8468\/files\/ksmbmbs__68649.1380603552.1280.1280.jpg?v=1759517184","url":"https:\/\/www.westedmontoncoinandstamp.com\/products\/2013-20-fine-silver-coin-holiday-wreath","provider":"West Edmonton Coin \u0026 Stamp","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
