What festive display to put on my sideboard

[fluffytowels]

We have a sideboard in our sitting room which has nothing on it

What to put on it for Christmas (we are trying to keep this as the 'grown up' room)?

I'm not that good at flower arrangements and not keen on wreaths with a candle in the middle.

Ideas please.

glittery jesus

link please

Do you think some pine cones around the bottom would be overkill?

I've got a nice clear vase filled with Christmas baubles and fairy lights (battery operated) in the table in my hall which is quite nice.

and fairy lights

A glass bowl full of baubles, or a swag (shorter than a garland) decorated with fairy lights and Christmassy ornamentation. Box of posh chocolates, decanter of port.

Where would one purchase battery operated fairy lights?

Wilkinsons just seen thenm there.

not that grown up, but look nice with some candles burning we have a whole choir on our sideboard!

You can get them at the often-overlooked Christmas powerhouse that is BHS.

In other news:

"Dear Father Christmas
Please may I have a purple glitter Jesus money-box. I have been very good and hardly been U at all.
Best

John Lewis, Wilkinsons, garden centres, Christmas barn type places

A model of Santa killing an elk?

Not sure I can manage an Elk. Surely any moose like creature would do.

I have 3 square glass vases that I could fill with balls. That could work. That and the glittery Jesus and I'm done!

Bridgeandbow, that would be a great way to use all those bloody innocent smoothie bobble hats!

I got some lights at B&Q, but John Lewis definitely have them too.
