Warm Festive Fireplaces

Nothing says warmth, like a warm, inviting fire in the fireplace.  When you enter someone's home in the winter during the holiday season, what's one of the first things you notice?  If you guessed fireplace, you'd be correct.  The fireplace not only provides warmth from the toasty fire in it, but can be a festive centerpiece just like the festive tree. 

So, for those who may not have a Christmas theme yet for their fireplace, check out these ideas.
