Northern Light Holiday
Welcome Home
Straw, wheat and other natural materials are saved from the fall harvest in Scandinavia to make simple holiday decorations. In this star-burst wreath, wheat sheaves radiate from a central circle decorated with green sprigs and red berries.
In ancient times, evergreen boughs were believed to house the gods of growth and rejuvenation. Bringing branches indoors in winter was believed to be a way to harness the gods' life-giving powers.
With their bold green color and fresh scent, it's understandable how the myth was started. And boughs in an entryway are always as welcoming as the promise of spring that they hold.
