Every year my husband tells me that he wants to start putting out the Christmas decorations right after Halloween so we can turn them on by Thanksgiving.
Every year we have our Christmas party on the third Saturday of December and we are just getting the decorating done either the day before or the day of the party.
This winter has already turned out to be extremely cold with a lot of freezing rain and snow. I watched my husband trying to put lights around the swing set and the pine trees, when there was two inches of snow on them. His hands were freezing and he was coming inside to get warm more than he was outside. He turned up the thermostat at one time, so he could get shivering. After he went back outside, I had to turn the thermostat back down. He had it set to seventy-five and the furnace was running constantly. He came back in about half an hour later and he went right over to the thermostat. I told him I had to turn it down because the furnace hadn’t quit running for the last hour. He turned the thermostat back up and he stood by the air vents. I went online to look at the weather report for the next four days. I told him it was going to be warmer the following day and maybe he should wait until then to finish the decorations. It was definitely warmer, but no one knew it was going to be snowing. The decorating had to wait for a couple more days.
