Christmasing On My Mantel

 Hello, Dear Ones. Well, the Christmasing is continuing here at my house and today I'm going to show you my mantel in the living room.

This is the view as you walk into my living room - the mantel and the tree!

Here you can see that I took my two new side chairs and put them on either side of the fireplace to make room for the Christmas tree. I kinda like it like this! Oh, I see Willow is trying to hide her face since she was trying to photo bomb my picture! Little booger!

I hung a wreath on my mirror and poked down an old green garland. I wove some deco mesh ribbon around the garland. I used that same deco mesh on my Christmas tree. Then, since I said I'd only use red, green and gold ball this year, I only used red balls on the garland. I put a couple of candles up on some candle sticks, poked down a little faux tree with guess what? Red, green and gold balls!

I just love Christmas time, don't you?

The above doggies don't look very Christmasy but I have so many I needed a place to put some of them so these volunteered to sit up here on the end of my mantle. This is the part that is not over the fireplace. They are all smiling so I know they love it up here.

Here's another view. I've gone a little simple this year and I like it.

Be a bunch of sweeties,                                                                                                                       Shelia :)

I'll leave you with a little Note Song ~

Wonderful Christmastime

 The moon is right

The spirits up
We're here tonight
And that's enough

Simply havin' a wonderful Christmastime
Simply havin' a wonderful Christmastime

The party's on
The feelin's here
That only comes
This time of year

Simply havin' a wonderful Christmastime
Simply havin' a wonderful Christmastime

The choir of children sing their song

Ding dong, ding dong
Ding dong, ding, ooh, ooh

We're simply havin' a wonderful Christmastime
Simply havin' a wonderful Christmastime

The word is out
About the town
So lift a glass
Ahh, don't look down

Simply havin' a wonderful Christmastime

The choir of children sing their song
They practiced all year long

Ding dong, ding dong
Ding dong, ding dong
Ding dong, ding dong
Ding dong, ding, ooh, ooh

The party's on
The spirits up
We're here tonight
And that's enough

Simply havin' a wonderful Christmastime
We're simply havin' a wonderful Christmastime

The moon is right
The spirits up
We're here tonight
And that's enough

We're simply havin' a wonderful Christmastime
Simply havin' a wonderful Christmastime
Simply havin' a wonderful Christmastime

Oh, Christmastime
