The holidays are a time for friends and memories.
I adore being at my condo during the holidays, with the snow falling and being wrapped in a blanked on the couch.
I adore the fireplace with its light illuminating off of the walls and ceiling, making my whole bedroom glow. There are days where I come in freezing from outside. I will immediately take off my snowy clothes, dress in my sweatpants and sweatshirt and immediately sit in front of the fireplace. I’ll grab a book or magazine and turn my cable on! During the holidays I will utilize my fireplace more than my heating system. Once the holidays are over I’ll switch over and use my heating system more. I do this because I don’t like going out to the shed and lugging out firewood in the freezing cold. I also like how my heating system burns more cleanly than my fireplace, sometimes I can see soot on my furniture surfaces. And I don’t like having to polish my wood furniture every time I turn my fireplace off. To keep using my heating system throughout the cold winter I like to call my Heating and A/C provider before the winter starts to have him repair it. I make sure that my Heating and A/C system is running efficiently so I’m not stuck in the middle of winter without a source of heat. My Heating and A/C professional makes sure that my air filter is clean and changed, that my ductwork isn’t dirty and it’s sealed respectfully. I would don’t care for to come inside from the frigid outdoors and not have heat. Then I would have to resort to my fireplace that leaves soot everywhere.
