WREATHS

A wreath is an assortment of flowers, leaves, fruits, twigs, straw, styrofoam, wire, or various materials that is constructed to form a circle. In English-speaking countries, wreaths are used typically as household ornaments, most commonly as an Advent and Christmas decoration. They are also used in ceremonial events in many cultures around the globe. They can be worn as a chaplet around the head, or as a garland around the neck.
