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.
