I'm getting ready to hibernate. When the cold weather set in, I basically move into my kitchen. I can turn down the heat in the rest of the house and then the dogs and I are very comfortable using the one room. I started doing this a couple years ago and just love the cosy feeling of hunkering down for the winter. I sit at my table with the dogs in their beds on the floor surrounding the floor grate. I also have a little electric space heater that looks like a wood stove to take the chill off when necessary. I have a little flat screen TV mounted on the wall with DVR. I REALLY love the heating bills...they've almost become dinky! I'm buying stew meat this weekend..another sign of winter.
It's not quite like Laura Ingalls Wilder in The Long Winter, but I like the feeling I get by doing this. Oh, I even moved my Christmas Tree location last year so that I could see it through the kitchen french door. Simply cosy.
