Nice and toasty
Yes, we do. In fact, when autumn comes to a close and we welcome the first foot or ten of snow, we can’t wait to start an indoor fire. There’s just something about wrapping ourselves in a wool blanket with hot cocoa in hand while sitting around a fireplace with our loved ones.
However, fireplaces are becoming increasingly less common nowadays. There are electric fireplaces, but they don’t release the same ambient warmth as the traditional soot-producing fireplace of old. I’d give anything to go back to the days with mom, dad, and my siblings all gathered around a fireplace. Sometimes, movies get it spot-on.
