From Halloween through Christmas, it seems that many doors have a wreath of some sort decorating the entry. These Christmas wreath ideas are the perfect way to welcome guests to your home.

Decorate your door with a festive Christmas wreath
Some of these wreaths are simple, and some are very ornate. Some are store bought for lots of money and others are easy DIY projects.
This lovely Christmas wreath uses pine cones and subtle colored flowers as well as eucalyptus leaves for a great effect.
