Ornamental wreath is the next big Christmas decor after the Christmas tree. Ornamental wreath is made of flower stems, fruits, holly leaves and twigs twisted into a big ring. It is a symbol for everlasting life and a sign of strength and growth.

Ornamental wreath Christmas decoration can be placed on the outside of the main door, above the fire place and it also looks great on a stairs landing.

Complete the scene by hanging the Santa Claus gift socks on the fire place. Traditionally, the socks are either green or red, but you can Kenyanise them by using left over Kitenge, Maasai Shuka or Leso.
