What's the best thing to do on a cold winter day? *PRELIMINARY REMARK: After writing the answer, I noticed that I misunderstood the meaning of the question, so my answer is a little off topic, since I was asked what is the best thing to do on a cold winter day and not how to get rid of the cold, but I decided to share it anyway. Hopefully I'll share a more accurate answer soon, even if I think it won't change much!* Turning on the heating is the first thing that comes to my mind when thinking about cold winters. Lighting up the fireplace would be even better, if we have it. Moreover, I think that drinking a hot drink can help a lot. Not only it warms your body, but also your hands as you're holding a hot cup! Snuggling down under a blanket (or bedclothes) can also be an option. All these previous choices are ideal for those who like or want to chill out a bit and spend a relaxing day. As a more "active" alternative, I think that doing some exercises would allow you to get rid of the cold. This is absolutely suitable for those who are always on the move!
