Holly Wreaths.

[greencol]

How many lay a wreath at this time of year?
Strange topic i guess, but my wife said to me a few minutes ago ' do you want to get a wreath this morning to put on the grave of your mum & dad?
I said i didnt.
To me it seems such a pointless exercise.
My father has been dead for 39 years and my mother has been gone 11.
I'd rather donate the money to a cause that will help the living.

Thoughts?

I've never heard of this. I thought from your title it would be about wreaths on the front door: which I personally find nice and seasonal but as with everything else go up far too early these days (not to mention wreaths creeping in for other parts of the year, apparently)

It maybe a local thing.
Its something that is common here.
I have done it until now, but it seems so pointless to me now.
I dont need to visit the grave of my folks to remember them.
They're with me every day.

Never heard of such a thing. Neither has Mrs Jackie, she's from a much more traditional family than I am.

We do it every year at this time of year for her folks .

My youngest lassie put our tree up yesterday Jimmy. Living rooms only got the tree, the telly and 2 lamp tables. Ordered a new suite in the DFS 365 day sale in mid September telling us we would get it mid November so we sold the auld suite a month ago.
The fucker is eventually coming this Friday, might put a couple of deccies up before it comes.

I'm heading up to rat bairns shortly. Her and the vultures put the tree up the other night.

The festivities begin

My sister and I take flowers up to my mum's grave every Christmas Day.
It's just what we want to do.
However everyone will want to remember their loved ones who have passed on in their own way, which is quite right for them.
Never done Holly wreaths though.

Knowing your folks as I did they have probably been saying for years “Dinna waste yer money on that shite.” This year, they’ll be saying “far’s the wreath ye grippit hoor?”

Plenty of people do it here. I think there are no rules with these things and I do feel that people should do what feels good for them.
