I think you'd be surprised just how nice they look. When all the lights and ornaments are on it, you cannot tell it's a fake! Hang a couple of balsalm or pine scented ornaments on it and you'll even get the lovely smell of Christmas, too!
Speaking of wreaths...well, sorta...
My s-i-l brought us the neatest gadget that she picked up at the dollar store. It's a magnet wreath holder for a glass storm door.
We had the wreath on the inside on the regular door and between the glass. But this puts it right outside on the glass, with no unsightly wires or lines.
It's vey cool...
