There is no question that I legitimately much like my family and spending Christmas with them has been my way of reflecting that love… Dad is still with us and both of us all go to her home because she prefers having everybody for Christmas. My sibling and sibling who live near her both have immense families, but I am single and live way down south where I do not need anything but a heat pump to deal with winter. But these Christmas trips have been going on since I left home, but once I was out of college, I moved to the south where the heat pump reigns supreme; The job I got came with an office that had enjoyable commercial Heating, Ventilation, and A/C so I was consistently enjoying the cooling comfort during the heat and humidity of the south. These afternoons, Wintertide is my legitimately best friend and my favorite time of year. But I have to leave for a week each Wintertide to drag myself back up north and then endure way too much heating at my moms. The older Dad gets, the more she leans into the control component setting! And it absolutely uncomfortable, and it’s cold everywhere in her region unless you are in her house. I end up having to be in shorts and a t-shirt just to deal with that level of heating. I am sort of amazed that she can even afford the heating costs since the gas gas furnace seems to run nonstop. I have even considered maybe not going up for Christmas anymore. But I guess that that would be a immense disappointment to my Dad and really to the rest of my family, but so I’ll pack up the automobile next week and rely on the heating in my automobile while I go down the road. But I’ll sure have way too much heating when I get to my mom’s location.
