I like to put out seed cakes for the birds and squirrels and apples for the deer and bigger critters. Also, bring in some fresh rosemary to burn on the fire. It smells so good, and the fire is so cozy and comforting -- especially with the lighted candles. We usually mull some apple cider, and make gingerbread cookies as well.

Not sure if the fire's going to work out for tomorrow though -- it's supposed to be 70 degrees here tomorrow afternoon -- weird weather.
