Holidays are fun, but in Illinois they are generally cold. In the winter it is really cold, and right now it is -9 degrees, with 10 inches of snow in Central Illinois. Usually when there is that much snow you see people outside having fun, but when you have a heart condition it is different. With a heart condition you have to pay attention to the weather. At school I am not supposed to go out side when it is cold because for me it makes my heart work really hard to keep me warm, and it takes a long time for my body to get warm after I"ve been out in the cold.. Althought I do get to be by the fire to keep me warm, during the holidays. Look at my Album to see all of my Holiday Photos, and please share your experiences with me through a comment.
