My Mantel : Christmas 2013

When I decorate each year, I try not to look back at pictures of previous years. I like that it looks different each year.  This year, my mantel is simple.

And here it is...

The chunky gold frame came from a friend at a garage sale.  I added a piece of wood and turned it into a chalkboard.

Then I added the wreath and lit greens.

Simple.

I didn't even hang up our Christmas stockings! {Don't tell the kids...I don't think they've noticed yet that they aren't up.}  I will bring them out, of course, for Santa's arrival on the 24th.

So that's it!  What about you!? What does your mantel look like this year?
