Christmas Wreaths

1. The ceremonial use of wreaths, such as the laurel wreaths awarded to athletic champions in ancient Greece, dates back thousands of years. Pine Christmas wreaths likely derive from early Germanic and Scandinavian peoples, who brought evergreens into their homes as symbols of life in winter.

2. Pre-lit wreaths are the prep-free, mess-free solution for outdoor Christmas decorating - no needle cleanup, no tangled cords. Our pre-lit Christmas wreath selection offers white and multi-colored lights, including longer-lasting LED lights powered by plug-in or battery pack.

3. Unlit wreaths are like a lush Christmas canvas, ideal for unadorned naturalism or do-it-yourself Christmas decorating. Gorgeously realistic, our unlit Christmas wreaths feature natural-looking synthetics and lifelike branches. Just fluff and hang - the lights, tinsel, and ornaments are up to you.

4. White Christmas wreaths can be a beautiful alternative to synthetic fir or pine wreaths. If the angelic halo of an all-white Christmas wreath is too achromatic for your home's snowy exterior, frosted wreaths or flocked Christmas garland could provide a richly colorful contrast.

5. Artificial Christmas wreaths can leave traditionalists pining for more natural Christmas decorations. So let them pine. Pine cone wreaths offer an authentic-looking tribute to nature's artistry. For Christmas interiors, a pine cone garland is an old-fashioned favorite.

6. Pro: an artificial Christmas wreath can be used year after year. Con: it needs a place to stay when the holiday season is over. Solution: wreath hangers and wreath storage bags from WreathsGalore.com. Our foam-lined nylon wreath keepers ensure year-round shape protection.

7. Flowers hold a special charm in the dead of winter, which is one reason why hydrangea wreaths are a perennial Christmas favorite. They're versatile, too: a hydrangea wreath can do double duty as Christmas and Valentine's wreath.

8. You'll never fear if an outlet is near when battery operated wreaths are part of your Christmas decorating plans. A battery operated Christmas wreath with LED lights is an energy-efficient alternative to light-filled, power-hungry Christmas displays.

9. With all the lights and glitter of the holidays, sometimes a simple piece of greenery can have the most dramatic effect of all. Unlit garland is one of the most flexible Christmas decorations - both literally and figuratively. Whether draped or twined, a nine-foot Christmas garland is sinuously satisfying.

10. The Christmas presents are under the tree, and you know what that means: BCS college football games are almost here. Our college wreaths may not be Christmas-colored, but they'll definitely put you in the bowl game spirit.
