What do you know about fireplaces?

In the west, fireplaces are also closely related to various festivals. On Halloween, the most important ceremony is to light a fire and put as many small stones as the people around you in the fireplace. It is said that if a stone is moved the next morning, the owner will die this year. On Christmas morning, the first thing children have to do is to run to the fireplace to look for presents from Santa Claus. On Fridays in Dorset, hanging a piece of toast in the fireplace is said to ensure a bumper harvest next year. The fireplace is somewhat mysterious because it is connected with the chimney. Chimneys are channels connecting the outside world with the inside world. When the oven door is closed in summer, people will also be curious about what is hidden inside, because after the oven door is closed, a very convenient storage cellar is formed. When many children draw houses, we can be surprised to find that in these naive pictures, all houses are painted with chimneys, and the mysterious area under the chimneys is the fireplace. It can be seen that in the child's subconscious, fire and fireplace are an innate close factor.
