I haven't started with the Christmas music yet. I usually try to avoid that most years even if we have the decorations up. The house actually doesn't extend over the garage, so it isn't too bad, but we do have some issues with airflow on the upper level. The biggest issue is space in general. We have two living rooms one upstairs and one downstairs, but neither of them are big enough to entertain a larger number of people. I'd rather have one big space.
