Mission Statement:
(you know we need one, right?)
Or the Story behind RecessionWreaths.com and its founder -
The Eternal Optimist Rob Grant (aka Mr. Ever Green)
"The best part of this whole concept is that its free (because we know
nobody has any money to spend anyway). And that's why we launched the web
site ...so you can send a Virtual Wreath for free, to anybody, anywhere
in the world...and make them laugh!"
click here for entire Mission
Statement
Origin of the Wreath
(which doesn't apply to us)
Wreaths are commonly made by evergreens as a symbol for
the strength of life, with these plants overcoming even the harshest winters.
Such wreaths often use Bay Laurel and can be categorized as laurel wreaths.
Other components of a wreath can be pine, holly or yew, symbolizing immortality,
and cedar, symbolizing strength and healing. The Greek god Apollo is often
associated with wreaths, and was a god of life and health. This inspired
the Greek to use the symbol as crowns of victory at the Pythian Games,
a forerunner to today's Olympic Games. The circularity of wreaths can
be used to symbolize eternity or immortality. See Crown of Immortality.
In Northern Europe, wreaths made of branches of conifer trees are commonly
used as a symbol of remembrance of the dead. For that purpose, such wreaths
are often left at graves at burial , or in cases of burial-at-sea, left
to float at the sea.
A wreath made of mostly evergreen tree twigs, sometimes with pine cones
and/or a bow made of red ribbon is a common Christmas decoration. Christian
households and churches often use an advent wreath made with four (or
five) candles in preparation for Christmas. (wikipedia)
