Yeah, my dad did that one, too. He didn't have a fire extinguisher, so it was a saucepan of water hustled in by my mother that saved the house.

Was he trying to burn up the Christmas tree in the fireplace?! And was that a shot, later, of a chimney fire?

I've seen dried Christmas trees just about explode when tossed on a fire. I wouldn't want one burned within 50 yards of my house.

You know it was a great party when you wake up on the floor and realize that most of the furniture has been burnt as all that remains is the butt end of a smoldering couch sticking out of the fireplace. Or as Hunter might say - when the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.
