In New York City, for several obvious reasons, although many of the older apartments in contain fireplaces, no fires are allowed. This is kind of a bummer, for those who enjoy lighting the yule log around this time of year. In this modern age, however, there exists a digital solution for this conundrum. The NY Times actually published an article about it today. That’s right, friends, throw in the fireplace DVD and you are all set (minus heat and aroma). Humorously enough, Reagan actually purchased one of these fine cinematic works last year. She even made me put it on, during our post Thanksgiving day pie party. Hahahah. The one that Reagan bought, actually has several fireplace options, as well as an aquarium option (we don’t get much use out of that one) and a lava lamp setting. So if you are keeping it local in NYC this season and craving some yule tide cheer, pick up one of these discs. Actually, I’m sure that Reagan would probably let you borrower hers.
