4. WOOL SOCKS

Like pillows on your feet


* My brother got me a pair for Christmas last year, along with a bottle of hot sauce and packs of hot chocolate. My house in Maryland had been so cold during his visit in November, Nick explained, that he thought that I'd need whatever warmth I could get. Many nights, these socks have saved me from frozen toes.

* This simple miracle first appeared at CWRU in the fall of 2002. Every year, we used it as the first. It was the only one that we repeated.
