We sit around and tell stories, sing our favorite songs, act out dramas, and even play duck-duck-goose, all in the light of the fire. Our children love it. There is a strong feeling of peace and security glowing from there eyes; We are safe and warm in our little family cave.
When we go camping I can sit there and stare at the fire forever, letting it lull me and drowse me to sleepiness. Fires are captivating.
