I will have to share my “actual” fireplace. It is not as festive as the photo but it works fine. I’ll have more to share about the upcoming winter solstice. ❤
Thanks, Viva. I am enjoying a return to a more nature based tradition. There is just too much commercialism in the world today. ❤ Hugs to you and Merry Christmas. ❤
Oh, if I could! My fireplace is electric. On the summer solstice I will have to get a small log for my little fire pit and do it. I’m writing another post tomorrow about my Yule celebration old lady style inside. LOL! ❤️
