Ironically, after having been in the fireplace business for several years, I do not have a fireplace in my home. I have missed not being able to stoke up a fire on a cold and damp day. The Ultimate Fireplace DVD has been an amazing replacement for the real thing. My wife and I are voracious readers so we curl up in our favorite chairs nightly with our latest books in front of the crackling fire. We have two dogs and it is funny how they start to pant when the fireplace DVD is running. It is so realistic that they are sure they must be getting hot. With Christmas around the corner we put on our favorite Christmas music and the Christmas fireplace scene and our home takes on an idyllic presence with us curled up with a steaming cup of tea or hot cider and the dogs resting beside us. Truly a Rockwell moment.
