It turned to winter here suddenly. Brrr. We have two (adobe brick) fireplaces...keep the one in the bedroom closed, and just light candles in it. But we start using the living room fireplace on Thanksgiving and keep it glowy until, pretty much, February. It's beautiful to look at, and I love the crackling sounds it makes. The bottom photo is of the candle fireplace, taken at wrong speed with a Kodak V550. My daughter likes the light stripes.
