wreaths

Circular holiday decorations

Wreaths is the plural of wreath, a circular arrangement of flowers, leaves, or branches.

Wreaths appear on doors during holidays, on graves as memorials, and on winners' heads as symbols of victory.

The word also applies to ring-shaped things generally: wreaths of smoke curled toward the ceiling.
