Thanks for posting this, Kim! I'm not huge on Christmas crafting, but last year (mostly by happenstance) I made a minimalist wreath that makes me Snoopy-dance happy. What a great excuse to finally take photos of it!
I'm no wreath expert, but I believe the basics are that the circle symbolizes eternity and the evergreens symbolize life. I'm sure there are a lot more details.
