Today I really feel the cold starting to come to life. This time of year I tend to think about the coming holidays and the stress that I am about to endure for the next 90 days or so. My family is very big into the Christmas holiday, I love to put up the lights and decorate the house inside and out.
One of my favorite christmas songs is by the one and only CHIMPMUNKS, Christmas, Christmas time is near, yea I know it is supposed to be "HERE" but we are not that close yet. Anyway I am getting ahead of myself, I want to talk about these crisp cool nights, time to break out the Fire pit. One of the other great things to do with the family is light a fire in the fire pit and sit around the roaring flame and enjoy the night stars in the sky. There are many different fire pits to choose from but I like the real wood burning ones these put out the best heat. You could also get the propane version that is more like a coffee table and entertain all the friends and neighbors. No matter which one you choose be sure to be safe, make sure the fire pit is on a safe and fire retardant platform we don't need any fires outside the pit.
There are also some great Patio Heaters out there, I do not want to give up my outside patio just yet. You work so hard to create the best outside entertaining area you can, so get out there and enjoy it a little more with a fire pit or patio heater. My son is coming home this weekend from college and I can not wait to sit around and discuss his latest troubles with his EDUCATION. I am so proud of my family, they bring me hours of joy every day I could have a stand up comedy act with all the material I can get from my family.
Getting back to Christmas. I know it is a little early but with the economy lately you need to start early to get the best deals. There are a lot of retailers starting to put things on sale to jump start the holiday shopping season, they are worried that it may not start at all I think. Look for all the holiday adds on T.V. now already every year it gets earlier and earlier. Just go out and get 1 gift for each person every week from now through Thanksgiving and I am sure you will be done and ready ahead of time and happy that you did.
Every year we go to my brother-in-law's house for Thanksgiving and he too has a wood burning fire pit, he gets a good fire going and we all sit around and enjoy our cocktails. He also has a spa so every year we bring our suits and get in the spa at around 100 degrees, and after that we get out and sit around the fire to warm up and dry off all the while sipping our drinks and watching for the UFO's, I mean Santa getting a test run in. The bottom line is this, get yourself a fire pit or a spa and start enjoying the outdoors all year long, don't be a closed up in the house all depressed. Winter can be a great season too.
Until Next Time...
