Christmas greenery

Every year I decorate our mantles and add a touch of greenery. Usually, I buy a mantle swag and arrange the items around it. But this year I had an epiphany; we live in the Pacific Northwest where we are surrounded by conifers. Why not just snip some greenery from our backyard and use it? I did just that and arranged it in and around the mantle decorations, and, I do believe it's the prettiest they've ever been. Isn't it amazing what thoughts of economy can do for the imagination?
