Come in From the Cold Day
Taking place during the dead of winter, Come in From the Cold Day is about thawing out, both literally and figuratively. The phrase "come in from the cold" can mean to come in from cold weather, but can also refer to when people become part of a group or activity they previously were barred from, or, on a larger scale, when people become accepted by society. Come in From the Cold Day can be about coming in from the cold weather, but can also be about moving away from isolation and solitude and making connections with others during the bitterly cold months of the year when isolation is rampant and depression seeps in.
How to Observe Come in From the Cold Day
First, if you are outside, come in from the cold! Then, use the day to connect with a friend in an effort to drive out social isolation and improve your mental health. If spending the day with a small group of friends or hosting a larger party is more your style—and is more apt to drive out the mental cold surrounding you—then you can go that route. Naturally, a great song to listen to today is "Come in from the Cold" by Joni Mitchell.
