First of all, Merry Christmas if you celebrate. Happy Hanukkah if you’re a chosen like me, but also Happy Christmukkah if your family is a combo pack of goys and chosens.

Most parts of the country are, to say the least, brick as shit right now. At the time of this writing we’re starting down the barrel of a -3 REAL FEEL, which REALLY makes me FEEL like never going outside again and becoming one with my mattress. (Both for warmth and, uh, depression reasons ayyyy.) But alas, I will have to at some point, which made me think of the below list of the 10 cold weather essentials I love that I think every guy should have in some form or another.

Let’s get to it!
