Christmas time is one of my favorite holidays during the year..My family and I get all together and we exchange presents, discuss family memories and enjoy the gathering through a very large dinner.
There’s a lot more to Christmas than just the opening up presents.
To us, it’s about remembering the ones that we have lost and enjoying the people and creating new memories with the family members that are with us today. When it comes to gifts, our family does a secret santa. Around Thanksgiving time we draw names out of a bucket and purchase a present for the name that we drew. When I was opening up my gift I was trying to look at the faces who would have given it away that it was them. When I opened it up I was surprised! I received a Wi-Fi smart thermostat! I knew immediately who got this for me. It was my dad. We had a long discussion about redoing my house and the HVAC equipment that is installed. I’ve always wanted this type of thermostat in my home and now I had a chance to install it. With a smart thermostat you are able to control your thermostat and set the heating and cooling through your phone. So if I’m at work and I know that is going to be colder when I get home, I can set it to a much higher temperature so that my furnace will kick on. I cannot wait to use my smart thermostat, and I know my dad will be right there assisting me on how to use it.
