One Size Better Fit All…

Expanding on the concept of the family bed is another way to save money on heating bills.  Simply introduce a “family winter coat” or “family hat”, even a “family pair of thermal underwear” that each family member gets an opportunity to wear.   True, it may limit family outings but the benefits far outweigh the extravagance of everyone having their own winter gear.  Those benefits include, bringing the family closer together (you can all hang out in the family bed while the person who is wearing the coat is out gathering firewood), encouraging responsibility (it’s bad enough losing a hat of your own, but the family hat?  The breach of trust would be irreparable.), and, of course, saving money in the coming recession.   And let’s not kid ourselves, it’s here.
