So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Fireplace Screens And Matching Tools

By Jeff Bridges

Shopping online for fireplace screens allows you to look at pictures of screens, read about the styles. Many shapes and styles give you a chance for a perfect fit with the decor of your room. The screen will keep ashes and sparks inside the fireplace protecting you, your family, and your home.

The screen is an important safe function of the fireplace. In order to get screens that fit properly measure the front and add 3 to 5 inches to the height of the fireplace opening. Add 10 to 12 inches to the width of the opening. You are allowing for covering past the opening, therefore giving you maximum protection. Another reason for buying screens larger than the opening is for stand-alone screens so they will not tip over.

The style and shape of your fireplace and the d?cor of the room can all be in harmony. You can choose a stand-alone screen that folds or curves and they have sizes that fit "all" fireplaces. Remember your measurements and add inches to them because screens with folds will need extra width.

Fireplaces are good sources for heat but if you are losing the heat, it may be the efficiency of your screen. Choose from an Iron or Glass Screen to give extra control with the efficiency of your fireplace.

Some of the choices of screens are, brass, bronze, graphite, iron, curved glass, and more than I can mention. Accessories can be bought at anytime as matching assembles. They are available with fire starters, wood containers, cleaning tools, even candelabras to match.

All you need are your measurements and time to look at fireplace screens. You can stay within a budget and still choose from an assortment of styles and prices. You will not be disappointed with a fireplace screen during the cold winter months.
