Christmas Wreath

5 minutes is all you need for an artpiece done!

A quicky one as the boys napped way too long, we have about half an hour before their dinner time and this craftwork is good.

Cut a big hole in the middle of the paper plate, then paste the green paper on the rim of it. Zq used a pen to "push" the paper to create a "gathered" effect and it looks much more lively and real. Then lastly, touched up the green wreath with a few red paper for a complete look of the wreath.

When we were doing up our wreath, i was wondering what the meaning of a Christmas wreath is, and so i did a google on it.

The essence of what a Christmas wreah signifies:
- eternity,
- everlasting life,
- growth
- Jesus's blood,
- and the circle of life that is forever

Since the circle has no beginning and no end, many believe it represents God's love for us, no beginning and no end. In other words, God loves us thick and thin, regardless of what daily challenges we happen to struggle through.
Evergreens are used in Christmas wreath as it stays green all year round and represents hope that we all need to live as joyously as possible.
Though i am not a Christian, but the meaning of the Christmas wreath touches me lots. And isn't it symbolize the love to our little one as well? I will always love my boys no matter what happened, regardless what changes & challenges occured along the way, my love is going round and round and will never end. And HOPE is what i want to teach and share with them, we need to live with hope for a positive and meaningful life..

Zq said it looked like a CLOCK! :p

We hung it on our main door for decoration and to welcome Santa Claus's arrival (he will visit us and give him a big present as he did a very beautiful wreath - claimed by Zq) :p

And our ingenious papa asked us "Is it a doughnut on the door?" when he back from work. Duh!
