My Christmas Mantel this year was so easy to put together.  I added some lighted garland,  a few new tissue paper trees,  a few candles,  hanging ornaments, nut crackers, some pine cones and a re-decorated wreath. 
I found an old wreath in my mom’s garage. Took everything off of it.  I then added some cute Santa ribbon she had to it and a few new Christmas pics.  

I added a cardinal at the top in honor of my Grandma.  She passed away a few months back and she absolutely loved cardinals.    

Now, the plug from my lighted garland was hanging out looking like a big brown eye sore! 

I found a few of these doo-dads (they are called doo-dads when the hubby isn’t around to properly name them for me)!!

And VIOLA, no more ugly brown cord sticking out!!

Here are a few more pictures of our mantel.

So, what do y’all think??
