2. Reading and writing

What better to pass the time than to read and write. Writing, whether it is writing your diary or making a novel – is a great way to fire up your creative side and help you get in tune with your own mind. The winter is great for this, sit by a fire, or somewhere warm, and write your heart out.You can even try blogging. It’s writing, but it is on the Internet, and it is direct, so people can immediately read what you write.

On the other hand, there is reading. An excellent way to pass the cold winter days. You probably heard the term armchair travel, and you can guess what it means, reading takes you to all kinds of places, and times. It’s a beautiful thing.
