Merry Christmas From Twin Cities Daily Photo

Almost Christmas here in my part of the world, it's officially the 'eve' now as I feverishly wrap the remaining gifts for my family. This is a photo of my mom and dads fireplace that they have decorated quite nicely with a mirror and a ton of candles. It gives a very nice warmth without having a blazing fire.

Merry Christmas to all!

  1. Clever idea, slinger. I have a few candles in my fireplace but I think I'll borrow their idea and use a mirror and more candles. Happy holidays!! PS. Who's profile in the mirror?

  3. the profile is an uncle of mine. The mirror does add a great effect when you are standing, my angle was quite low and didn't give a good reflection of the candles when one normally looks at it. I was using a chair as a tripod, so I had to take the low angle and avoid using a flash.

    Ce joyeux Noël, des cadeaux plein les bras,
    Qui réchauffe nos coeurs et apporte la joie,
    Jour des plus beaux souvenirs,
    Plus beau jour de l'année."
