I know Christmas is over, well not the spiritual Christmas, it is always in my heart. And, we have barely had a cold winter in Alabama--maybe a tad of snow, and a few real cold days, but just didn't get much opportunity for great winter shots. But this is a typical warm evening by the fire during winter, at my home. Welcome, and don't worry, I am very careful around the sheers in the background--they are farther away than they look, and we always close the fire door too. This is mostly for looks with the door open. Please excuse the dust, it's always that way with a fire. Taken in December, 2011. Taken with a Nikon Coolpix w/flash.
