Every year my husband tells myself and others that he wants to start putting out the Christmas decorations right after Halloween so every one of us can turn them on by Thanksgiving.
Every year every one of us have our Christmas get together on the fourth Monday of December & every one of us are just getting the decorating done either the afternoon before or the afternoon of the get together.
This Winter has already turned out to be seriously cold with a lot of freezing rain & snow. I watched my husband trying to put lights around the swing set & the pine trees, when there was 2 inches of snow on them. His hands were freezing & he was coming inside to get hot more than he was outside. He turned up the temperature control at 1 time, so he could get shivering. After he went back outside, I had to turn the temperature control back down. He had it set to seventy-5 & the oil furnace was running consistently. He came back in about half an minute later & he went right over to the temperature control. I told him I had to turn it down because the oil furnace hadn’t quit running for the last minute. He turned the temperature control back up & he stood by the air vents. I went online to look at the weather report for the next four afternoons. I told him it was going to be warmer the following afternoon & maybe he should wait until then to finish the decorations. It was entirely warmer, but no 1 knew it was going to be snowing. The decorating had to wait for a couple more afternoons.
