It's Beginning to Look a lot like Christmas...

Chris likes fire. I think they're pretty and all, but I don't really care to have them in my house. I'm a realist. Fire burns things. Duh. Not always the best idea. This time, I was vetoed.

The fireplace that was built in this house isn't really a functioning one. The inspector told us that one good fire could take the whole place down. We don't really want that to happen, so I figured we'd just heat the place with, you know, the HEATER. I'm not interested in lugging logs of firewood into the house anyway, and I am not exactly a world champion fire starter.

Chris got the bright idea of buying a fireplace insert. Oh boy. Fine, whatever, he's going to be responsible for lighting the fires. That sucker cost about five or six years worth of heating bills, so we'll see if it can manage to pay for itself.

It's only the first part of October, but the whole fireplace thing made me think about Christmas. The kiddo is to the point where she really enjoys any holidays now, so it's going to be a blast this year.

In honor of my newly festive spirit, I started looking at Christmas t-shirts for her online. This was my absolute favorite:
