They do this on purpose, on every Christmas since this stupidity started, no matter what the weather is like.

What?!!! It's a tradition for our family to watch a Christmas movie with a roaring fire burning. Really how can the weather be bad, when it's supposed to be a warm and clear day. UGH!!

Use common sense. Don't pollute on sunny days. If you must light up, only do it when it is raining. The pollution is so thick right now, we can see and smell it.

As an asthmatic who is currently really struggling with bronchitis, I an assure you that this is not a "stupidity." Please do not put unnecessary smoke into the air.

So glad of this warning. Some neighbors burn wood in their fireplaces and the rest of us have to deal with the smell and pollution.
