it's even a little warmer in there

Last night we had crackling fire in our living room. It was so nice to listen to the pop and crack of the logs as they burned. So cozy. King and I sat up and had a glass of wine and watched the dancing flames. We spent time together, relaxing, like we have not been able to do since I can't even remember when. How utterly romantic and way past due. We were so unwound that we even fell asleep curled up together on the couch.
But you wanna know something funny? We have a fake fireplace. A beautiful mantle, but we removed the unvented gas logs when we were restoring the house. We now have our flat screen tv in that space. And a dvd player.... and, you guessed it, a "movie" of a roaring fire.

Goofy as hell? Yes. Best $7 we've ever spent? You betcha!

Paul and I did this last night, mg! We turned on Comcast OnDemand YuleLog. It was the best! Glad to know we're not the only ones who can be lulled by the flat screen.
