Sadly, you cannot hibernate, You must emerge from the warmth of your covers and face the bitter cold as a warrior. I have compiled a list of ideas to help keep warm trekking from the parking lot to UVU's cozy halls. Wear wool sweaters. Winter is officially for sweaters. Showcase your finest sweaters outside or down the stretch of the Hall of Flags. Collaborate with companions — wear ugly sweaters to turn heads.

Break the ice and reach out to the cutie shivering beside you. Make a little Christmas warmth and a new friend. Best case scenario, you could be sitting pretty with a new sled buddy. Merry Christmas! spend on presents for your family and spend it on the less fortunate. Think of this holiday as a time to relax ~ perhaps, for instance, with a cup of hot chocolate in front of the fire. Over coffee, have a long conversation with your grandparents. Call a friend you haven't talked to in a year. Send a Christmas card to your aunt in Ireland. Watch the snowflakes fall, decorate a tree, sing carols with the neighbors, attend a holiday musical. Turn the holiday around. Take the stress out of the season. Make the last month of the year one you will never forget. "Celebrate the happiness that friends are always giving.
