Am I the only person feeling a bit off-schedule due to Thanksgiving's late arrival this year? Today is the first Sunday of Advent, so I am offering photos of wreaths for Christmas inspiration . . .

"You can dress a standard wreath in white Christmas fashion as quick as you can say 'St. Nick.'

Take the project outside to ensure you don't 'dust' the unintended."
