Sorry, San Francisco. No chestnuts on an open fire this Christmas Eve.

Bay Area officials have banned residents from burning wood, indoors and outdoors, on Tuesday -- and might extend the ban into Christmas Day -- as part of an air quality initiative.

The order came from a governmental body called the Bay Area Air Quality Management District. It issued a "Winter Spare the Air Alert," which prohibits people from burning wood, manufactured logs or "any other solid fuels" in fireplaces and outdoor fire pits.

Only a real jerk would take the shift to be one of the Christmas Eve Fireplace Police.

And no candles. No Mary in the Manger and no Wise Men. Everyone should spend their Christmas going online and buying health insurance.

I like smelling the wood smoke from fireplaces in the neighborhood.

I’ve been to the San Francisco area...I think the ocean breeze would prevent any smog, unlike Los Angeles.

at least there is still hot chocolate

Can’t burn wood in Phoenix this night, either. Air Quality alert.

Somehow, in SF, I doubt there is any shortage of smug, Gaia worshipping, athiest that would gladly pee in everyones egg nog

don’t need a fire when smugly cuddled in your flannel Onesie

“Hey, bro, why are you in the courthouse today?”

“Yuletide fire violation.”

You’re right, in SF it’s just another regulation, not an outrage.

Just tossed another log in the woodburner.

13 degrees outside, 78 in here and I’m using 100% renewable energy and Zero fossil fuel to stay warm

Difficult to say anything nice about these people......even on Christmas.

smog...Los Angeles.

Isn't that the place where they make movies and burn thousands of gallons of raw gasoline on a daily basis, to film exciting action movies

And no candles. No Mary in the Manger and no Wise Men. Everyone should spend their Christmas going online and buying health insurance.

In your flannel onesie of course.

San Fran can get pretty socked in, like the fog that often hangs around it.

It is what it is.

Ok, I am turning the snark off now because it is Christmas Eve.
