So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Renovation for Your Home

By Frida Miller

Frequently, we associate renovation with our existing budgets, or on a larger scale, on the current economic state. However there may be some renovations for your home that you should not postpone. In fact a lot of home renovations when dealt early can actually help you save in the long run. Renovate your home not only for aesthetics purposes but also to make your home eco-friendly. Here are some home renovation ideas:

1. Add a small extra padding for your attic. This will help reduce energy consumption and thus be more frugal in the long run. Right insulation can trim down heating and cooling bills by 10%.

2. Renovate your windows by upgrading old single-pane windows with Energy Star qualified windows. These window types can save you a lot when it comes to energy bills. Energy Star qualified windows usually more than a couple panes of glass, warm edge spacers between the window panes and better framing materials

3. Water heater is another of most home's top energy expenditure. Not only that, it accounts a large chunk of the household's monthly energy bill. It's time to renovate your heater if your existing one is more than 10 years old. Why? If your water heater is old, it is most likely operating at a less effective rate, with an efficiency level of 50 per cent or lower. However, you can still spare some money by insulating the water heater with a water heater jacket. You can purchase water heater jackets at most hardware stores or by lowering the temperature setting on the water heater.

There are many profits in making energy saving renovations to your abode. These renovations can shrink your energy consumption and thus save you money in the long run. Energy-saving renovations can improve your indoor air quality, and your overall comfort level.
