Indeed, the fire celebrated my 31st birthday! We burned some sticks my mom had been picking up from the yard.

In terms of biomass consumed, I think it was probably smaller than the Christmas fire documented at

In the future, we will use the location of the Christmas fire. A bit further down the hill, but with much more clearance from trees.

Oh wow, this one is pretty epic too. Christmas Fire... is that one of your Christmas traditions? :)

We have no traditions... just urges and spontaneity!

My mother likes to give us gifts underneath a faux christmas tree. But sometimes she is not ready until several days after December 25. The gifts are often the same gifts that we rejected in previous years!

One year I took @jhimmel's alarm clock from his bedroom, wrapped it up, and presented it to him as a gift! The gift of joy! It's the thought that counts!

Ahahaha, that was funny :D I mean not just that alarm clock story but the whole thing, your unusual approach towards celebrating Christmas :)

Wow I cant stop myself from commenting. You guys had done a great job although I can see its tiring especially for the girls but all the hard works has paid off. You were able to produce a magnificent Christmas fire. Above all, its pretty obvious that all of of you were having fun, what a wonderful family!

Belated Happy 31st birthday!
