I'd pull my handy-dandy Zippo lighter out of my pocket and light the lantern, then the fireplace, and save the match and candle for emergencies. You didn't SAY that all I had to light things with was the match. Points, please!

You "strike" the match, then light the candle, then lantern, then fireplace.
You cannot "light" a match...it is one of those phrases in our lexicon that make no sense, unless you light the match with another match...

the fireplace..gotta stay warm..maybe place a iron pot over the fire and whip up some soup..then, with the hot embers, use it to light the candle and lantern-if the lantern has a wick.
