Layers! Throw on an extra sweatshirt, and a thermal underneath too!

I also wear those thicker socks with slippers.

We cover every window and even our sliding glass door (eventually) with the plastic. (those hair dyer warmer kits)

I shove a rolled towel under the door cracks, too. It's also an extra security thing at night!

Of course piling on the blankets and clothing layers... Cook lots of things in the oven and keep it open after you turn it off. Drink lots of tea and hot chocolate. Have sex! Do yard work or errands to get you out of the house (55 degrees outside is warm, but inside it's freezing!!). Wash dishes--having your hands in the warm water warms you up. Vacuum--that always helps me, too.

Lots of crockpot cooking; slow cook stuff in the oven, then open it to let the heat out; if you have nylons that look like they're gonna tear, wear those under your clothes; wear a beanie; and drink lots of warm beverages.

lol....live in Texas!

we are still runnning the a/c here....

I never turn my heat on until mid-Novemeber, later if we can stand it. Plus I like the windows open during the day, just a crack when it is too cool, for fresh crisp air. I do what most of you do. We always wear socks and come fall I make (or try to make I should say) everyone wear slippers. We wear warmer clothes and when sitting around watching tv at night we cuddle up with blankets. I put an extra blanket at the foot of the beds in case anyone needs them at night. We also like drink hot tea, hot cocoa and the kids LOVE hot apple cider. Just last night I sat outside with a blanket around my shoulders and my hot cocoa and listened to the rain. I LOVE fall!!!

Fall is my favorite season!

We recently bought a house that has a wood pellet burner in the basement. For $2 worth of pellets, we can burn for 12 hours, and that'll keep the house warm this time of year for a few days. We're trying to make it to November, too.

Our oven was dirty so last night we ran the self cleaner. That really warmed the place up!
