Some of the greatest holiday traditions are centered around the fireplace and mantle: Santa comes down the chimney, stories are told by a roaring fire and stockings are hung on the mantle. What does that mean, though, for the rest of us without fireplaces in our homes or apartments? Neither of us are lucky enough to have a roaring fire to cozy up to but that doesn’t stop us from decorating for the holidays fabulously! Here are some of our favorite inspirations for alternatives when hanging the stockings with care.
