Christmas wreath

A Christmas wreath is a decoration made from plants (like evergreen branches), flowers, and other pretty things that people hang on their doors or walls during the winter holiday season. It's shaped like a circle, which means there are no corners or edges.

People like to put wreaths up because they make their homes look festive and happy, and they remind people of the holiday season. You might see wreaths with ribbons, bows, bells, or even lights on them!

To make a wreath, people use a special type of wire to shape the branches or flowers into a circle. Then, they add all sorts of fun decorative things. Once it's all decorated, people hang the wreath up using a hook or nail.

When you see a Christmas wreath, you know that the people who live inside that house are very excited for the holiday season!
