It must look really neat when you light all of the candles. I know it is too early to light a fire!! But when you have a fire in the fireplace does it cause heat waves that affect the candles on the mantle? I have trouble with my candles burning evenly because of the heat waves from the fireplace! Oh I have my favorite sweet potato recipe on my recipe blog ;-)
Thank you, Christina. Most of the crosses have been gifts. A couple we bought ourselves for special occasions (our 5th anniversary, Billy's doctoral graduation).
Nannykim, it's actually not a real fire place. *pout* It just has an ugly fake log and I guess it's gas...??? We have only been here a few months so we haven't even looked into lighting it. I never thought about a fire in the fire place melting the candles.
The opposite of consumption is production. It takes far more time and energy to create something than to consume something. It takes a novelist a year to write a book that someone can read in a few days. A cast and crew of thousands spend years to create a film that will be viewed in two hours. Often our only recreational activities are actions of consumption. What an alternative it is, then, to rediscover the wonder and delight of creativity.~Albert Hsu
"The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." ~Jesus in John 10:10
