I love it in the winter and in the summer campfires are wonderful. I use candles in the fireplace with foil under them in the summer to add warmth to a room.

Some years it's been a huge tree, some years it was a small tree, and some years it was a tall-yet-slim tree! The light I'm referring to is simply the light of the tree alone - with <strong>no other</strong> lights on in the house. Each year, after our tree has been decorated, we love to spend a quiet hour just dreaming by the light of the tree. We make it a nightly ritual for as many nights as possible during the Christmas season. We usually chat about the day, sometimes have a drink together, but mostly just settle back and marvel at how lovely and relaxing it is to be enveloped in the soft glow of the lights. Those quiet moments are my favorite part of Christmas. :-) <strong>Paulette</strong>, Your descriptions had me nodding enthusiastically here! :-) I’ll add my two cents now ;-)

I have a few favorites, but they're all connected to the holidays. Of course the twinkle of holidays lights. I love, love, love them, but the fireplace goes along with that special time of year too, and when the moonlight shines on the snow, it's just magical...all those glittery sparkles are so beautiful! I'd really love to hear your favorites too! xoxo Paulette :) Hi Sweetie! I have a few favorites, but they’re all connected to the holidays. Of course the twinkle of holidays lights.

I'm tickled that some of you added more choices, too! I know <strong>Kelly</strong> will be checking in soon so I'll wait just a little longer to say which one I would choose! Well, Kids,

It is such a good idea though that I will try to work it into a future post - "Guess Crystal's Choice". Also, I actually DID consider adding "sunlight" as a choice here! I guess I eventually decided that the rest of them were "lights" that can shine in total darkness - so I didn't add the sunlight. I'm glad you did because I agree that a gray day is absolutely the pits. <strong>Clenna!</strong> Nice to see you! Isn't it funny how our memories of good times seem to attach us to what was going on around us? <strong>Michelle,</strong> I know what you mean about it being "not just the light its the whole package"! I didn't have an easy time deciding either! (See the next comment!) <strong>Yona,</strong> I just broke into a big smile picturing your little reindeer entertaining you all year round! How fun :-) <strong>Donna,</strong> Talk about cute! You and your dog playing a game with the flashlight! Your description made me teary. I'll bet you miss him. xo Wow, some great comments, here! :-)

LOL!! I used to love shining it on the wall to entertain my late dog. We would go up and down the stairs in the dark with just the light from the flashlight. Of those you mentioned, I guess Holiday Lights. So festive and they are out on display for about six weeks. Pretty. How about Flashlight? LOL!!

I love the simple white lights on the scraggly tree branches - it really looks magical. I love seeing the holiday reindeer lit up in the neighborhood yards -so much so that I have a reindeer in my living room at this very moment and sometimes I will plug him in and watch his little lit-up head/neck move up and down. Have a good weekend Crystal!

I'd say firelight because its not just for outside as we have a large woodburning fireplace. I love the smell and the crackles it makes. In the middle of depressing winter its a life saver .

Each brings memories of different past experiences. If I had to say - I guess I'd pick Firelight. I, too, love all of them. Each brings memories of different past experiences.
