NUTCRACKER CHRISTMAS!

Nutcrackers
NUTCRACKERS
are Mr. Heart's favorite Christmas decoration.





These nutcrackers have a home
on the den fireplace mantel this year.




Along with a touch of garland,
laced with lights, pine cones and berries...







Glitter trees for some added sparkle!











This antique fireplace mantel was found in an antique shop
here in town and has moved with us from house to house.










Does your hubby have a favorite Christmas decoration?
More nutcrackers, wreaths and berries can be found here on the Great Room Mantel!

    Love your Nutcracker fireplace mantle. At first I thought it was an English sideboard, until I saw the fireplace beneath it! Lovely collection. My husband likes Santa dolls....well, he appreciates mine. Thanks for sharing! Merry Christmas. ~CJ

    Something about Nutcrackers always says Christmas to me! My daughter (15) started hiding one of our Nutcrackers this year like the elf on the shelf. It's funny to see him pop up in unexpected places. Enjoyed your home tour. Come by my blog for a visit.

    Those guys are so charming and they look great on their perch -- particularly with your wonderful red easy chairs in the foreground.

    Happy holidays,
    Jane

    I love your oak mantle and I can see why it moves with you. Also, your home looks so cozy. ;)
    I've often thought about starting a nutcracker collection, but I have no idea where I'd put i! LOL. As for what's hubby's favorite? I don't think he really has a favorite...he just likes the fact that we have a decorated home at Christmas.
