Our Christmas mantle

 Here is our mantle for Christmas this year.  I had a hard time finding stocking holders that I liked so a few years ago I bought these iron fleur de lis bookends when they were 50% off at the HL (hobbylobby).  They cost less than $3 a piece and afterwards I can use them throughout the house.  I cant put items in the stockings with these cause it wouldn't hold it but then again I never do that till Christmas morning anyways and even then I put the stockings under the tree and no stocking holders truly hold a heavy stocking anyways.
