[net.auto] "Deck my grille...?"

		Having only moved to central New Jersey a couple of years
	ago, I'm not sure how old this custom is, but many of the residents
	around here have this strange habit of decorating their cars for 
	Christmas by tying an evergreen wreath, usually with a big red bow,
	and usually a natural one, to the grille of their car or truck. 
	While cute, it seems a little bizarre.
		Is this an extremely localized phenomenon, (I never saw it 
	in Pittsburgh!), or do millions of people across the country have
	this habit?  Any comments?

I saw a person who had a wreath on the front of their car here in Columbus,
but only once.  It did have the big red bow...

-----------------------------------
A few days before Christmas I noticed a semi with a large wreath
on the front grill--with a couple dozen small blinking lights
scattered throughout.  An incredibly silly idea, but so well done...

Hook up Christmas-tree lights to your car, its fun.
