My Christmas Mantel - Re-do

I really stressed over my mantel this year, it was the last thing to be decorated.  I just had no idea what it needed this year.   I knew that I wanted to use the long needle pine garland and the NOEL letters so I just set them both up there to get inspired and they haven't moved since.  I have just added on around it.  It's definitely growing on me.

Update: I knew I didn't like the previous arrangement on the left so I had to go and change it today and now I have that warm cozy feeling that says "I'm done".
