Dear Pezhman Rasekh -

Yes we do.  Displaying one is probably left over from a so-called "pagan" ritual, and that's OK, but I'd like to think that today we can just have it mean "Peace on earth, goodwill toward man (mankind ...ie, women and men)."   :-) 

Thank you very much, and Happy Holidays to all.  I'm sorry to say I am ignorant of many customs, and for many people around the world I don't know if there is a particular holiday this time of year that is of special significance, but to all, everywhere, best wishes for peace, harmony, and tolerance ... and loving our neighbors and all, the best gift of all. 

To ResearchGate: Nice to have this way to communicate and learn, in more than one way.

Thank you - Jim

Dear Jim,

Thanks for your kind note. Hopefully we can keep the traditional cultures alive.

Regards,

Pezhman

We used to have one for May 1st and one for Christmas. This in my parents house in Greece. Since I came to Canada, people put wreaths for many different customs from wherever they come from. Many people put up one for Christmas, but the most customary is colourful lights all around the front of the house with a Christmas tree with lights on the window (but inside the house). If there is a tree in the front  of the house, people decorate it with lights!

Have a Happy New Year!

Micheal, thanks for your note :-)
