Fireplace

On cold winter days I love to snuggle up on my couch next to the warm, quiet fireplace. I usually fall asleep if I've had a long hard day at school or work. Fireplaces remind me of Christmas when stockings are hung above it and Santa Clause comes down the chimney and lands in the ashy fireplace. In the late 17th century was when fireplaces were first invented. Not soon after that the Santa Clause coming down the chimney theory was told across the world. Today, thousands of Christmas story books are about Santa Clause coming down your chimney and into your fireplace. The picture books especially are the ones that have the families cuddled around the fireplace looking for warmth or Santa Clause being stuck in the chimney or even Santa Clause putting presents under the tree with the fireplace in the background. Fireplaces remind me a lot of my childhood and Christmas.

When  I was a little girl, every year on Christmas Eve night I wouldn't be able to sleep. I would stay up until I heard the reigndeers on the roof  or Santa getting stuck in the chimney. Never did I see Santa or the reigndeer, and now I know why.  It creates memories for you and your parents and gives you something to laugh and talk about. I've heard so many different stories about when children stopped believing and how it happened, and each one is different.  It's amazing that one fireplace can create so many different stories.
