During the holidays, people usually place decor on mantels and around the focal point of the house - the fireplace. Here are some inspiring ideas. Remember to keep stockings away from the front of the fireplace as they can be a fire hazard, and never burn a Christmas tree in the fireplace because they burn too hot and too fast and can cause a house fire.
Real fireplace - real fire - and nice decor without any stockings hanging down in front of the fireplace. We give this one an A+!
A stunning historical fireplace that is nicely done
