Christmas Decor: our bedroom mantel

We are lucky enough to live in a home that has a few architectural elements, including a fireplace/mantel in our bedroom.

It's one of my favorite spots to change up the decor.

This is how it looks this year for Christmas:


The stockings (aka a bunch of the littles' mismatched socks) are strung up with Baker's twine. Each stocking has 3 Hershey's kisses in it. It's our countdown calendar... but I've forgotten to put numbers on them of course. And I may or may not need to go refill some of the stockings. Hehehhe
You can see that the frame on the "y" in "JOY" is cracked. I accidentally dropped it. I need to try to glue it back together. I figured it was kind of symbolic of the fact that sometimes joy can come from brokeness.

I'll share some pics of the rest of my Christmas decor soon!
