How many days to Christmas?

For the last few years, as part of my preparation for Christmas, I have been making advent wreathes. In the past, I have used a chaser plate (red, silver or gold), either a block or ring of Oasis wet foam, 4 candles (3 either white or purple and 1 red) and freshly cut foliage from the garden. This year the snow wrecked the Hydragea's so I'm trying Phsyalims with ivy. Construction time 25 minutes. If I keep the Oasis watered the ivy should easily last to Christmas day.

On Christmas day, I had planned to change all the candles to white candles and spray the ivy silver, but having discussed the Christmas menu's and table with my mother this evening I will be using gold spray instead.
