Well, that was fun. All that planning and buying, wrapping and cooking remain as sweet memories of Holiday cheer. However, time marches on and whether or not we like it, we march along as well. I hope the season was everything you expected and more. But now, it’s time to start thinking about how to ring in the New Year…greener than ever.
The first phone book was published in New Haven, Connecticut in 1878. It was considered for well over 100 years to be an indispensable part of communication, advertisement, an excuse to show off how strong one is by ripping it into two pieces, and as Navan R. Johnson claimed, to legitimize one’s self. AT&T in Atlanta, Georgia this last summer was the first major American city to petition the state’s public utilities commission to stop sending a hard copy of the phone book (yellow and white pages) to every resident with or without a phone.
As winter has fallen upon us, we wanted to hear your tips and tricks to staying warm and what you find yourself wearing (or doing) to keep yourself from creeping up that thermostat! Is it fuzzy slippers, scarfs or gloves? Or your old ugly sweaters and sweatshirts (that you get each year for Christmas)? Do you use layers to keep you warm? Maybe it is keeping a warm cup of hot coco or tea close to warm yourselves from the inside out, or cozying in a big blanket. Heck, who knows, you could be one of the guitly who own the As Seen on TV’s “Snuggy”!!! What ever it is, we would love to hear!
I’m a sucker for my flannel PJ’s and slippers, and warm drinks. But my favorite (and probably most efficient) way to stay warm is snuggling up with a nice blanket and our cats. They throw off so much heat they are always enough to keep me warm and the cold at bay.
So what do you do? What are secrets for staying warm in these chilly months? Let us know or send us some pictures. We’ll post a few of the best ones.
