Well, I know I will not win the "longest before turning on the heat" contest, so I decided to start "who will be the first to put up your christmas tree" contest?
I know someone in fla. or California will probably win the no heat contest. Heck, I have been to central Florida in January and we had to use the a/c.
It gets cold here. I live in the mountains and my county, Union, has the highest peak in Georgia.
The first winter we lived here (in a travel trailer while building our house) the temp. got down to 22 degrees below zero. that's cold.
So, I am starting a contest to see who will be the first to put up their christmas tree!
You see, when we first moved here, we had a live tree every year.
Now, the granddaughters are all grown up and moved away and there is just the 2 of us. I put up a small tree the past few years, but I really didn't like it.
I decided to order a bigger tree this year, one with the lights already on it. It is just a tree that you pull up from the box and it is already assembled.
Well, the tree came in on Oct. 6th and I wanted to see if I liked it or would I have to send it back. So, dh opened the box and put the tree up.
I like it and I am keeping it, so unless you have your tree up already, I win the contest!!!!!
Let's see who comes in 2nd!
I have 4 one dollar bills left over from yesterday to add to the challenge.
Prev. total $14,268.00
today 4.00
new total $14,272.00
First christmas tree contest!

Nope, I'm not winning this one. And yep, I made a fire in the fireplace Monday 10/12 but the heat is not on yet. But I am not officially in the heat contest being in CA. It will surely get hot at least one more time in Oct. After that we will put the heat on 1.5 hours in the morning. Fires in the evening. And baking in the oven.

I / we ONLY buy a REAL tree. So, I guarantee I have a better shot at winning the LAST to put up their Christmas tree.
