Christmas has always been one of my favorite holidays.
There is just so much to enjoy! The cool weather, the holiday spirit, the gathering of friends and family, and of course the exchanging of gifts.
I love the winter and the snow really sets the scene for the holidays and I am lucky enough to live in an area with a colder climate so I get to enjoy the winter chill for quite some time. It does come with its own ups and downs. When you live in a cold climate it is very important that you have your heating system regularly checked out by your local heat and a/c provider. I have a gas furnace and I always ensure that it gets all the tune-ups and upgrades that it needs to stay working in good condition. Nobody wants their heater dying on them during the cold winter months. Not unless you plan on freezing. Last year for Christmas I got the perfect gift. It was a ductless mini split air conditioner! It was just what I had been wanting, while it is a cold climate here, with our winters lasting nearly half of the year, the summer months are still hot as ever and so it is just what I needed. I had stored it away until the warmer months came around, until then I focused on my heater. I had already had my gas furnace serviced and so I knew that it was good for the rest of the winter.
