Christmas Tips & Quotes

It is Christmas in the heart that puts Christmas in the air.

A corrugated cardboard fireplace....

Does anyone remember these? I found it at www.mileskimball.com. You put it together with "tab a into slot b." It's got a "fire" in the fireplace. It's red bricks printed on the cardboard. Inside of the firebox is a C7 bulb that has a silver/metal disk on a metal stake that comes up around the bulb and you put the disk on this "stake." As the bulb gets warm/hot, the metal disk starts to turn. This creates the shadow effect which makes it look like a real fire flickering. We had one when I was a child, because we didn't have a real fireplace, and my father found this, and figured it would do. I can't remember whether it was strong enough to actually hang the stockings from, but you could put christmas cards on it, etc. As soon as I saw it, I remembered it from my childhood, and I just had to have it. At some point in the future, I have ever intention of getting one of the gel fuel fireplaces, but until then, this will have to do. :) For less than $20, you can't go wrong. :)

I remember these

I use to have one of those and used it to death. Thanks for posting the site. I just ordered one since my plans to build a realistic looking fireplace have not happened this year. After Christmas, I think that will be my project to use this fireplace as a pattern to make what I was going to do this year. Saintedcajun
