Mantels

I feel like I am behind in decorating already.  I lost 2 days to an ear infection that kept me from doing anything.  Now that that is better I have decorated the two fireplaces.  I love these garlands that I use but they can be a pain.  the lights were not working on one of the garlands so I had to take the old lights off and restring new lights.  I just did this a couple of years ago so I should not have had to redo them again, but what can you do.  I also added a few touches to the mantels.  A Santa on each and some light up presents on one and light up trees on the others.  Very full but not over done I think.  

I still have so much to do.  I will be tackling the banisters and the balcony next.  The balcony is the hardest as the garland is the heaviest and largest to work with.
