December Delights - 3 December 2015

Just came in from sitting in front of the firepit. I never had much experience with fires, but I'm pretty good at this one. It's no real fun alone, though. TheHubs™ was at play rehearsal and got home just as the last of the embers was starting to fade.

I was also delighted to discover again this excellent animated version of A Christmas Carol. It is said to have derived its 'look' from 1800s engravings by Richard Williams. I remember seeing it as a child and being haunted by poor Marley's ghost, and from the pitiful figures of Ignorance and Want skulking beneath Christmas Present's robe. It's rather short, but I hope you'll enjoy it.

I took a tip from hechicera, who used paper, then wood shavings, then a couple of small kindling sticks. I also have a few pine cones, but they're mostly for show (flashy things!). I think there's also a knack to moving your logs around in a firepit, so they can breathe.
