Christmas Mantle

This month is all about Holiday Shortcuts, so in staying true to the 'theme', here's my Christmas Mantle.  No garland, no lights, just a couple items added to the usual mantle.

all that I added is this simple wood tree

and a couple winter-y sprigs of fake greenery to this antique vase

And you want to know what?  I really like the simplicity of the arrangement and I won't be going crazy on December 26th, ready to take everything down.  Less is more.
