		<description><![CDATA[What an interesting Christmas Eve we experienced here in the upper Midwest in 2009. It was definitely a white Christmas and we spent the evening without electricity and ate cold food and we burned candles for light. 
The thing that got us through the evening and into the night was a lot of blankets and throws, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In our discussion about fill power and loft over the past several days we would be remiss if we did not say that calculations are only approximate. A more accurate way to compare goose down comforters is to use European Norm temperature ratings, which are based on realistic independent lab tests.
 These tests are the lowest comfortable [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
In wintertime older houses that are not well insulated and have original windows will radiate heat. When you are sitting there and feel cold air, it is because heat is leaving not because cold air is necessarily getting in.
