It's beginning to look a lot like winter

Since the house is on fire let us warm ourselves. ~Italian Proverb

Now it feels like the winter time! Look, I realize I don't live in the coldest climate in the world, but when it is cold, I love a good fire! We were originally going to burn real wood, but because this isn't our final house, we don't want to have to deal with the mess that a real fire brings inside the hearth. So we bought some ceramic ones from Home Depot today and boy, does it look beautiful! Now, I must go snuggle on my couch under a cushy blanket and watch White Christmas with Bing Crosby! Bring on the holidays!
