Are You Ready for Winter?

This past week I had a vehicle serviced and prepared for winter and this week I will have the other one done. I have begun digging out the warm hats, gloves, and scarves and winter coats and boots and made sure they are washed clean and ready for wear. I turned the furnace on low and set to 68 degrees and I pulled out my warm clothes. Blankets were changed on the beds and comforters added. Air conditioners were taken out of the windows and stored until warmer weather returns. I also checked to be sure all my heating pads work and I have some bubble bath and Epsom salts up in the bathroom. This is for those times when my muscles really hurt. I can relax in a hot tub with some epsom salts or bubble bath and enjoy relaxing after a long hard day at the office. I also placed some aroma therapy candles around as well.
This year I am striving to keep stress and pressure off me during the holidays. These steps will help me prepare for the winter and be more ready to meet it head-on and deal with it in a comfortable way.
Are there any things you have done to prepare for the winter that I didn't mention? If so, how about adding them here. Let's see how many things we can come up with!

Thank you!
I live in NOrthwest Florida, so we do not get terrible winters, but we do get temps in the 40's a and 30's some nights. I have arthritis in my right knee since I was in my teens. As soon as the weather starts to change a little, I wear a neoprene knee brace to bed, and it keeps the area warm and loose. I start to drink caffeine free mint tea before bed. If the temperature is not going to get above 50 during the day, I will wear the knee brace all day. It is not a tight brace, just one that will slip on and keep the knee warm.
