If you don't have a one, there's still time to build a mantel for the Christmas stockings. You can go with a scrapwood kind (top two) that should take no more than a few days at a leisurely pace. However any of the Wile-E.-Coyote style through-the-wall fireplaces (middle) will take much longer, especially if you include the pair of Staffordshire dogs (middle top right).
