A small holiday wreath would not look bad

on a Benz. It would look much better than on today's aerodynamic sedans.

The bow I used last year was about 2.5 or 3 times the size of that and the tails were too long to look right. It covered the grille though.

Might one inquire how you managed to securely fasten the wreath to the car? I need some ideas.

Sadly, it's just a cell phone picture so the quality/resolution are nothing to brag on. But here's the SDL for this Christmas. We'll do a wreath next year.

Since that picture was taken, I have decided that the nose looks better at the very bottom of the grille, resting on the bumper. When you do it that way the headlights can sort of be regarded as eyes. It's been moved but it's not worth a new picture.

I'm enjoying the "You did WHAT to a Mercedes?!?" effect FAR too much to take it off quite yet.

Everybody at church loved it...

My daughter did it for me (well, I helped). Subtle, without being too gaudy.
