Does a 25 watt light bulb draw more current than a 60 watt light bulb?
No, a higher wattage INCANDESCENT light bulb uses more current than a lower wattage INCANDESCENT light bulb. Some CF and LED bulbs are rated by the amount of light that an incandescent bulb would produce, but they are also rated by the wattage that they use.

Which gas filling light bulbs so that filament does not react chemically?
Low wattage bulbs have no gas, just vacuum. Higher wattage bulbs typically use nitrogen as it is inexpensive, but some may use argon.
What happens to a light bulb in series?
If you put two incandescent bulbs of the same wattage in series, they will both light with the same intensity. If one is lower wattage than the other, the lower wattage bulb will light brighter than the oter one. If you put two 115 volt bulbs of the same wattage in series across 230 volts, both will light equally, but if you use dissimilar wattages, the smaller one will burn out.
Why do people get higher watt light bulbs in the winter?
It could be that people need more light. The higher the wattage on incandescent bulbs means that the lamp will have a higher light output. Better to see on the long winter nights in the northern hemisphere.
