Why not, make an Advent Wreath !!

You'll need:

Four candles

Floral foam

Green boughs, ivy, berries or whatever kind of greenery you want.

Decorations as you like.

The first thing to do is to cut the floral foam to fit the shallow bowl, platter or dish you're going to use to create the wreath.( Don't use anything flat).

Immerse the floral foam in water and leave it for a fews hours until it is wet all through.

Place the foam in a dish, or a serving platter. I repeat, something that is not flat, that has a bit of a rim..because during the month you'll want to be adding water to keep the branches fresh.

Stick the candles into the foam: two by two in the center, in a circle , one in each corner if it's square or rectanguler or in a straight line or however you want.

Fill in around the candles and the sides of the foam with the greenery to give a certain form to the weath.

Then decorate with: ribbons, berries, pine cones, little christmas decorations....minitures candy canes..whatever you like.

And remember, for each of the four Sundays before Christmas, light a candle: one for the first Sunday, two for the second Sunday , continuing until the forth Sunday, when all the candles will be lit.

Remember too, as you light the candles, to prepare your heart and home to joyously welcome the LOVE , HOPE and PEACE brought to earth on that first Christmas Eve.
