Show Us Your Holiday Mantel
Wreaths and garlands, sparkling lights and Santas, stockings and mini trees. If you’re displaying it, we want to see it!
The mantel is a coveted decorating spot, and can be transformed into a beautiful focal point above a roaring fire during the holidays. How have you decorated yours? Are you into elaborate garlands, simple sprigs, ribbons and bows, easy spots for The Elf on the Shelf to hide or something else? We’d like to know.
