Third place goes to Elton John's "Step Into Christmas" - one of the greatest songwriting duos (Elton & Bernie Taupin) ever and the best they could do is this dreck????

My wife feels like you about it but I have the kids on my side so she’s resigned herself to being subjected to Christmas songs the moment they start playing on terrestrial radio…
We keep our thermostat at 72 like sane individuals
66 downstairs where we pretty live during the day.
62 upstairs in the bedrooms.
Just got oil today for first time since May. Very happy to see it down $1.00 / gal from last year. 25%.
I’ll take it.

So you are a lizard! I feel like I know you much better now.
I had the fireplace on today and with that the living room got up to 66 and I had to swap my sweatshirt for a tee.
We get 2 fill up a year....
About 200 gallons each time
One Oct, one March
And that's our hot water source too
72 on the thermostat seems to be the sweet spot here. I will crank it to 74 and then turn off the heat before bed so when I wake up it is about 68.

"Let there be light" now turns on three lamps in my very dark living room.
"Darkness please" turns them all off.
I love it so much.
Read where one guy set his up so that when he says "my wife is mad again" Alexa turns all the lights red and plays Darth Vader's Imperial March

I love that later in the episode, when they are haggling with the supply sergeant, he tells them they should've gotten the coleslaw.

It's work in the warm season, but well worth it in the cold. The money we save is incredible.

We have a mini-split and wood stove, with electric baseboard that goes on 3-5 times a year when its under -10F and I dont feel like making a fire in the middle of the night.
Other than that, our wood stove is soap stone and have a catalyst so it re-burns the smoke. Can usually go 12 hours, 8 hours if its under 10F.
We have a long ranch, with the mini split we shoot to keep the living room at 70f which makes the back bedroom 63. When the wood stove is on, each person opens or closes their doors depending on how cold they want for sleeping. Living room usually peaks at 75 but gets down to 65 in the morning. We burn about 2 cords a year, plus $100 for electric for the shoulder seasons. So $600 for heating, not bad.
