Christmas Wintergreen Wreaths: Lets make wintergreen wreaths to celebrate the Christian holiday of Christmas! The tradition of bringing evergreen trees and branches into the home for Christmas began around the 16th century in Northern and Eastern Europe. The excess branches from shaping the Christmas tree were woven into a circle and used as decoration on windows, doors, and tables. The practive of weaving branches into wreaths has its origins even further back in history with the GReek and Roman tradition of honoring athletes and leaders of state laurels wreaths to wear on their heads.
