My front hall light fixture is not anything to write home about. A perfect disguise for Christmas: A decorated wreath hung like a maypole with shiny hanging ornaments.
Take three pieces of wide French ribbon, tie them onto the wreath at equal intervals , hang it upside down and tie to the top of the light fixture. I added some shiny turquoise satin ribbon to boot.
'got the idea from
Tasha Tudor, an American illustrator who painted idyllic scenes with a hanging advent wreath. I tried that once and had dripping,
goopy wax everywhere. This works nicer.

I love Tasha Tudor's books. Thanks for sharing your take on the Christmas wreath! I have an ugly ceiling fan over my dining table right now. Hoping to replace with a simple chandelier. Maybe next year I can hang my wreath on it!
Merry Christmas!
