The Advent wreath also can be traced back in the folk practices of the pre-Christian Germanic people who gathered wreaths of evergreen and lighted fires of hope in a coming spring and renewed light during the cold dark December of Eastern Europe.
In Christian culture, esp. us Roman Catholics, we call it ‘advent wreath’. It symbolizes the ‘coming of the Savior Jesus Christ.’

To hang a circular shape on your door would symbolize eternity. And the green would symbolize that the rebirth of Spring is not too far away. Imagine winters without electricity. In those dark times, I'm sure it would be nice to see the reminders of Spring.
I also found a good link that fills in some more theories and details. Enjoy!

M$While the actual transition from headwear to door decoration is unknown, the story goes that an athlete placed the wreath from his head on the front of the door to show it off. Wreaths have evolved from there. This site appears to be a good source for information on Christmas trivia, as it has many links to other Christmas subjects. http://www.worldofchristmas.net/christmas-wreath/history.html
