Mantel

Not exactly what I had envisioned but I thunk it's okay for never having had a fireplace mantel to decorate before.  The Santa on the end is actually a counter to Christmas. It has little squares that you change out and of course they start at 25, only a few more days until I get to put the first one up :) The plant on the bottom is actually the poinsettia Joshua bought me last year! I'm hoping the flowers will come back. That thing has many near death experiences : / If they don't come back I'm going to make a trip to wally world and pick up two smaller ones to set on each side of the fireplace - honestly, I might do that anyway considering they are only $3 each.
