This year I decorated the mantel for the first time, it's sad to say since we have such a classic Christmas mantel to decorate. I guess I've always thought, "it's only for a month!" or "it's just us" so I haven't bothered. But this year, I decided it was time, even just for us and even just for a month and I'm glad I did - it really makes the house more festive! I pulled out things we had stashed away to put it all together, only buying the garland, lights, candles and wire tree, leaving my grand total mantel decorating at $20. It's a very 'us' mantel, which I suppose is how it should be. :)
It looks so beautiful! I wish I had a mantel to adorn!
