Proud of my neurotic little self for buying a fire extinguisher, since it saved my apartment yesterday. I am an anxious mess but I always say I am good in an emergency…and I am.
Anyways, after an evening of cooking Christmas dinner with the Kid, we were distracted in the bedroom, when I heard a strange sound. The sound? It was the crackling of pine needles burning up the advent wreath. Luckily, I had the fire extinguisher ready and managed to get the fire out without too much damage.
Next year, I think I will just stick to American traditions, as clearly I don’t take too kindly to Austrian ones. Or they don’t take kindly to me. Oida.
If you ever light candles, I suggest you invest in a fire extinguisher.
Merry Christmas.


Roman Catholics in the USA also have Advent wreaths. It’s not something that is simply Austrian. Glad you saved your apartment. Salt also takes out a fire (even grease fires). Do not use talcum powder; it’s flammable.
