Fireplace and Holiday Music

[candysprinkles]

Last Christmas Walmart was selling a DVD that just had a crackling fire and played Christmas music. I was kind of wanting it, but didn't buy it. I found a pretty good substitute online.

Actually there are two links. I like the fire better in the first one. But, you have to open a second tab and bring up an online Christmas radio station since it just has the popping fire. Make sure you open up the youtube video to the full screen option for the best effect.

The second link has the holiday music and a nice Christmas scene, but the fire isn't quite as nice IMO. I will probably be watching a little of both while working on crafts, wrapping presents and maybe even on Christmas morning.

Hope you enjoy!

I got the CD/DVD set you are talking about a couple years ago. I wasn't too impressed with the music CD but the fire DVD was okay.

depending upon your cable or satellite provider, you may already have it this Christmas season

Bell, our provider, has a channel that shows the fireplace loop and plays Chrismtas music

Thanks, Mrs Soup, maybe it's good that I didn't get it if the music isn't great anyway.

Lucie, that is awesome; but I don't think I'll get that lucky this year. There is a freestanding gas fireplace and mantle at Big Lots for $400ish. Not gonna happen this year, for sure. I couldn't even get hubby to go and look at it.

We do have the channel that has Christmas music on it, HouseElf. But, it is a black screen with just the title and musician on it.

Growing up in the 70's (dating myself, I know) we had a local station that played the yule log all Christmas Eve night and Christmas day. It was cheesy at the time, but faithfully every year my dad would put it on and we would have our christmas eve party. Now, even though one of my sisters has a real fire place she puts on the yule log on Christmas eve. Traditions now matter how corny are comforting and enjoyable.

This is cool. Thank you for sharing it with us. I have a real fireplace but I did buy one of the dvd's that has the snowy village with some nice tunes that I play on my widescreen which hangs just above the fireplace. Understand, we rarely get snow so this is nice to watch in the background during our holiday get togethers. We often cannot even use the fireplace because it's too hot.

If you're a fan of the Shrek movies they have released their own themed fireplace. I think it's quite fun because the characters wander in now and then. Here's the link:
