When I got out the Christmas decorations this year, I pitifully taped our stockings to the wall. Ellis tore them down in a heartbeat, and has ever since considered them to be mittens used for giving high-fives. So I decided that our stockings should be hung on a mantle this year, which wouldn't be easy because mantles come with fireplaces, and who has ever heard of a fireplace in a place like this?
A Pinterest search, several trips down to recycling to retrieve cardboard, sponges to create faux bricks, lots of glue, bamboo yule-logs, and many popsicle sticks later, we had a holiday hearth. It fell down pretty much immediately after we put it up, and it's spent more time in a heap on the floor than in its proper place. Reuben is rigging it up with some sticks of bamboo as I write this, in fact.
