A Front Door Christmas Wreath Tradition

As I was going through some old photos here at our home in Maine early last winter, I discovered a photo of the front door that my mother had decorated for Christmas the first year they were in the home, 30 years ago. My mother had decorated the door with three Christmas wreaths and the nails are still in the door to this day. Here’s a snapshot of the photo I found. And with that, I decided I wanted to continue this three Christmas wreath tradition on the front door as a symbol of renewal and strength.

I hope you enjoy this new family Christmas wreath tradition from 2019, 2020, and 2021. Join me here next week on the blog for this year’s family Christmas wreath tradition of 2021. The bows won’t be red this year…

Here is a photo of the first year I decorated this door along with Ella, which you may see more of here. At this time, the cedar shakes were 30 years weathered, and the trim was in much need of painting. Over the summer, we restored the cedar shakes and painted the trim an Essex Green.

I wish the photos I’m sharing with you this year had all this beautiful snow, but unfortunately, they do not. I hope you enjoy them and this Christmas wreath tradition nonetheless.

But you can see it all with the beautiful snow here now!

I was going to change the color of the bows this year. However, I just love the pop of red with the Essex Green trim and the cedar shakes. It just looks so classic New England to me.

I hope you enjoy this Christmas wreath tradition

The old sled was a recent gift from an old school friend that I have known all my life. I just love the meaning of it leaning up against the house next to the three wreaths.
