Our Christmas Mantel and Hearth

Just a week from today Santa may be coming down our chimney. 

The mantel is dressed for his arrival with lanterns and red candles so he can see his way down the chimney. 

The hearth is shinning bright for Santa too. Two small twinkling trees sparkle on each side of the fireplace.

The tree on the left side is trimmed with Old World ornaments that haven't been out of the box in years. Bird girl is always on our hearth and for Christmas, she holds two red shiny balls. 

The tree is secured to the brick fireplace with fishing line and a brick clip. A clip was also used for hanging the wreath over the mantel. 

I used only the smallest of our Old World ornaments for this tree. Most date back to the 80's when we lived in Southeast Missouri. The tree topper is new. 

I added a few snowflakes to the tree. 

The tree on the right side of the fireplace is trimmed with mini Shiny Bright ornaments and garland by Christopher Radko.

Thanks for stopping in to see our Christmas mantel and hearth - Judy.
