Xmas at the Yosser house hold.
Well the lights are up outside, and its on par with the grisswalds (Done the day before my back went out), Mrs Yosser has done a splendid job with the tree and the kids stockings are hanging on the fire place.
Its the first time that I've had a proper fire place, my parents house had a gas fire (the kind that sorta bolted on the wall, not an actual fire place) and wall radiators so I could never work out exactly how Santa got down the chimmney?
Anyways, what should I go for?
1. A proper log fire
2. Vented gas fire log
3. Non-vented gas fire log
Another thing, we used to leave a pint of beer and some carrots out when I was a tackler, but my wife insists on a glass of milk and cookies....so this year Father Christmas will have the choice Beer or milk..Mmmmmm I wonder which one will be drunk and the other poured down the sink

I moved the tree into the house last night, after we finally went to Target to pick up a stand. I made the mistake of asking if we were putting tinsel on it, to which I got a reply from my wife of "We dont do tinsel". So we are having what look like mardi gra beeds instead
I asked if that means I have to flash my man boobs every time I walk past it, like the ladies do on Bourbon Street

Sounds like too much work to me. Got a gas flame log fire, just flick a switch and on it comes. Don't get to use it much but it looks good.

I've checked out the websites and the non-vented gas logs are expensive but you get to keep the flute closed so more heat actually goes into the room and not up the chimmney. I've only had the heating on twice so far this winter and that was only for 10 minutes before it was toasty. Weather is still weird here, I had the AC on for a short while the other night, it was right warm it was.

All I remember is when Brig told us she was outside chopping up fire wood, that alone sounds like too much hard work, but aren't they messy as well?

I had a spider incident yesterday though... horrible shiny black one on my arm, so I did my special dance and ran in the house screaming!
Only the dog was home and I could swear she rolled her eyes at me too!
