Christmas for One

 My first Christmas in this apartment, probably won't be my last.  I love that I have a fire place and a mantel!  So many options when it comes to decorating!!  Everything I used to decorate this mantel comes from people I love!  

• Picked this "holly" while on a dog walk with my loves, Max and Ranger.
• Snowman stocking hanger - my parents don't use these any more so my mom suggested I take one.
• Pine cones from my boyfriend's pine tree in front of his house in west Texas.

•  Nativity scene - my parents have TONS of these in various mediums (clay, wood, stone, etc) so I got the stained glass one.  
• Pointsettias - my little sister's choir was selling these for $10 each, so I bought 4....later saw them at the grocery store for $4.00 each!  But I'm supporting the choir...
• And finally, the stocking was made by my mom 25 years ago...ahh the joys of being the first born!
