Merry Christmas!

Happy Holidays everyone, I hope everyone gets everything they want this year.
I've noticed there are now 3 channels showing 'the fireplace'. Channel 9 is the original fireplace channel and is probably the best, there is no music but you can clearly hear the crackling sounds and thats a bonus.
Channel 10 comes through a little clearer but there is music. This can be a pro or a con, depending on whether the music is any good. The real disaster for channel 10 is that there is a banner on the bottom of the channel that displays temp. and other information. This totally takes away from the ambience of the fireplace and reminds you that you are just watching TV and not actually releasing CO2 into the atmosphere.
Channel 13 is an interesting mix. It has music but the music isn't really all that good but the fire is really roaring, something that appears lacking in the other infernos. I can't really hear any crackling so that's a definite minus, but a clear winner is hard to point out.
I have watched these fires long enough to know that it's just a 5 min loop that they play over and over again. However my cousin Jeremy allegedly said that he saw a hand appear in one of the fires and add a log. This has not been verified and goes against what I have seen. Jer likes to watch TV when he comes home from the 'office' ie. whatever Irish pub he was at.
Alright, I just found another fireplace channel, 37. It is the new favorite to win. It has music but a really nice rack or grate, whatever it is that the logs sit on.
And I just saw a poker move some of the logs around so maybe Jer wasn't all that drunk. Anyway have a great break everyone and speaking of poker, my place on friday night.
