If you can, test out other fabric types to determine which you prefer. Microfiber is generally not as soft as cotton or silk. Other textiles are also better than microfiber for moderating temperature. Cotton is very breathable, keeping you cool during the summer and warm during the winter. Linen is great for moderating temperature in high humidity. Consider linen if you sweat a lot at night. However, linen often has a rough texture. Egyptian cotton is generally considered the softest type of cotton, but there are now some brands that market lower grade products as "Egyptian cotton." Price is the major advantage for microfiber sheets. Microfiber sheets can cost as little as $20, whereas high quality cotton sheets might be several hundred dollars. Microfiber is durable and easy to wash. Cotton, on the other hand, is liable to shrink when washed. Microfiber might not be the most luxurious fabric, but you can buy it at a good price and keep it for a long time without investing a lot of effort into care.

Summary: Consider whether microfiber has the right feel for you. Decide how much you want to spend. Go with microfiber for durability.

Before hanging the garland, string lights around the boughs to create a lighted focal point on the stairs. If you've already hung the garland, you can drape the lights over and around the boughs for a more casual look.

This is the ideal temperature for keeping meats safely frozen. The refrigerator freezer will work just fine. Avoid freezing large quantities of meat together, as it will slow down freezing process. Separate the pieces or bags to allow the meat to freeze faster. Once the meat is completely frozen, you can rearrange the layout of the freezer. If the meat doesn't freeze quickly enough, ice crystals can form in the meat. These crystals contribute to freezer burn and to the loss of juices while the meat is thawing out. Your freezer should maintain a temperature of 0 degrees or lower at almost all times in order to keep the meat at its best. If you're only freezing your meat for a short amount of time (a couple of weeks), it's okay if the freezer's temperature fluctuates a little from the door opening and closing. Just be sure to eat the meat quickly.
Summary: Place the wrapped meat in a freezer set at 0 degrees Fahrenheit or lower. Place the meat in the coldest area of freezer. Avoid opening and closing freezer repeatedly.
