A customer asked for a classic Christmas wreath with a bit of childhood whimsy. The decorator chose a cheerful red, green and white ribbon, added classic holiday elements of pine cones, berries and holly, along with a birch twig, and as a final touch inserted a little Santa. The toy might not be to everyone’s taste, and can easily be removed without spoiling the overall design of the wreath, but we think it fulfilled the order perfectly.
