Ho Ho Ho
Santa carries some weight around here…
I was always the child that wanted to believe.
If I were in the movie Polar Express, I would be the only adult that could hear the bell!
That’s one reason I love my Santa’s Belt theme Christmas decorations…
…that and I just think it’s too cute for words!
So naturally, my mantel had to comply with my theme!
My garland is filled with holly berries, eucalyptus, ornaments and ribbon.
I love my wreath, which I created to match.
I’m sure you can tell that I love to use red berries in my Christmas decor. All you need to do is take a peek at some of my other Christmas decorations, like my corner cabinet, to figure that out!
I took a simple floral pick of berries and created a circle to wrap around my candles. The plain red berry floral picks work well with the holly berry picks.
I love the fullness and abundance of my Christmas mantel and tree. They make me smile…
…and if I listen closely I think I can even hear a bell.
Happy Holidays!

I absolutely LOVE your holiday decor and santa theme decorations. You did a fantastic job! May I ask what store you got your santa-belt ornaments and tree toppers from? I’m from California so I hope there’s a website or something where I can purchase them:)
Thanks! I’m glad you like them Olivia! I found them at The Christmas Place in Pigeon Forge at few years ago. Here’s the website, http://www.christmasplace.com. Hopefully they will have some. They have an amazing collection of Christmas decor!
Everything looks soooo perfect Leslie!!! LOVE your tree!
Thanks so much for sharing this at The DIY Dreamer… From Dream To Reality!

I am applauding so loudly that I think you just might be able to hear me all the way to your house! Wow! What a great theme to start with…very original! And then the decor to carry out that theme…magical! It is obvious that you have a way with whimsy!!! I love the topper on your tree, too! The Ho Ho Ho sign is the perfect centerpiece to your mantel vignette!!! You have REALLY done it up right for the Christmas holidays!!!! Well done! Visiting from Kathe With An E’s blog party.
