You've made the hot cocoa, wrapped the presents, and placed them under the tree with care. The stockings are hung and the cookies are iced. There’s one last thing to do that you’ve been ignoring all year: Go outside.

It's snowing, the air is crisp, and the ground is covered in a thick layer of white fluff. You can't see the grass or touch it. You start to shiver. You feel extremely uncomfortable like you’re fighting for your own life in a foreign, bitter-cold world. This is what winter is all about — fights. Fighting with loved ones, fighting with strangers, fighting with the snow itself. It’s only natural! Don’t be a loser who stays inside. 

Embrace the coldest, harshest, darkest season while you can. Please don’t wait until next year to leave your house.
