During this festive season, families decorate their houses with various holiday decorations such as Christmas wreaths, garlands, ribbons, and more.

1. Christmas Wreath

A wreath is an arrangement of flowers or leaves in the circular form used for decoration. This can be hung on doors or over fireplaces easily. It’s an old tradition dating back to the 1800s when Swedish people began hanging evergreen plants indoors in honor of their deceased loved ones during yuletide celebrations.

A popular way to make a Christmas wreath is by using a grapevine decorated with ribbon, berries, and pinecones.

The wreath can be hung on doors or over fireplaces easily. Another popular way to hang the wreath is by using a bow so that it would dangle from the door without hitting against it as people pass through.

2. Garland

This decoration was typically made from evergreen plants such as holly, ivy, pine branches, mistletoe, and more back during those days when people believed in Paganism. Nowadays, garlands are typically made from paper strips wrapped around a wireframe and adorned with beads and trinkets to make them colorful and artistic. Beautiful-looking varieties even feature LED lights for added effect.

3. Ribbon

Ribbons are usually used to add an extra touch to other holiday decorations, such as garlands. When combined with pine or fir cones, it can create a very merry and festive mood.

In conclusion, these are just five of the many holiday decorations used to add cheer and festivity during the festive season. With so much to do in preparation for this special time of year, it can be an enjoyable thing to do.
