Stockings Were Hung on the Mantle . . .

As Christmas draws nearer, add decorations in stages!!

Be creative with fresh Christmas greenery and fresh flowers for your Christmas Decorations!

​Decorate the mantle with  fresh Christmas greenery, ribbon and flowers. Add the Stockings before Christmas, hanging from stocking holders. Make allowances with heavy greenery, so that after the stockings are filled, they can be removed without leaving big holes in the decorations.  After Santa, the mantle still looks finished!

Close to Christmas Day, add red poinsettias next to the front door. The bright poinsettias will welcome any guests. It also adds to the party atmosphere of the Holidays.

Make a progressive fresh Christmas greenery arrangements. Add different blooms to change the look. Make the first selection of blooms peppermint carnations. After a couple of days, add another bloom selection – such as snowflake pom-poms. Add these to the carnations already in place. On Christmas Eve, add red roses and Baby’s Breath to create a full, rich Christmas centerpiece!
