One thing I love about our new house is that we actually have a fireplace mantle!
This is exciting since our old house had a mantel-less fireplace, which I always felt was a sad looking sight once Christmas time rolled around each year. So the fact that I can now do amazing things like hang stockings and garland makes me beyond happy :) I wanted a somewhat simple garland for the fireplace and something that added a little hint of Christmas cheer without being too loud.
