<description><![CDATA[My favorite on this list is the <a href="http://frugalliving.about.com/od/craftsgifts/ss/Sweater_Bag.htm">sweater tote bag</a>. I have about a million sweaters that I never wear that are begging to be transformed into something useful. ]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[How to Make a Holiday Budget]]></title>
<link><![CDATA[http://frugalliving.about.com/od/moneymanagement/ht/Holiday_Spend.htm]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[On the other hand, not everyone on my list would appreciate a sweater tote. (It wouldn't go with a thing my Dad wears, for example.) So while I have the time to put a little money aside, I think I'll make an actual budget for holiday spending. Revolutionary! ]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[How to Make Hot Chocolate]]></title>
<link><![CDATA[http://coffeetea.about.com/od/preparationandrecipes/a/HotChocolateTechniques.htm]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[Of course, the key is to make good hot chocolate. The so-so kind is worse than none at all, and an offense to the name. (Anyone who's ever had the equivalent of tepid powdered chocolate milk knows what I'm talking about.)]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[How to Make Spanish Hot Chocolate]]></title>
<link><![CDATA[http://spanishfood.about.com/od/drinks/r/chocolate.htm]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[When I took Spanish in school, our textbook was called "Churros y Chocolate," after a popular breakfast pairing in Spain. You can imagine how I felt when I discovered that people in Spain got to drink chocolate with breakfast. I felt like moving. Inmediatamente. ]]></description>

<link><![CDATA[http://coffeetea.about.com/od/foodmeetsdrinks/a/HotChocolatePairings.htm]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[The first thing you should "eat" is more hot chocolate. After that, it's really all a question of whether you're craving salty, sweet, or tangy food. ]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Cheap and Easy Ways to Save Energy]]></title>
<link><![CDATA[http://greenliving.about.com/od/greenathome/tp/winterize_home_save_energy.htm]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[You can make small changes and make a big difference in your heating bills and assuage your conscience at the same time. This is my favorite: "Reverse your ceiling fans ... By flipping the little black switch that makes the fan rotate clockwise -- and keeping the fan speed set to low -- you can circulate the warm air that has risen to the ceiling all around the room." ]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[How to Install a Programmable Thermostat]]></title>
<link><![CDATA[http://greenliving.about.com/od/greenathome/ss/install_programmable_thermostat.htm]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[Programmable thermostats can save you $200 in heating bills a year, and only cost about $50 to buy. The best part is, installing it is easy enough that even I could probably do it, and I have actually hurt myself changing a light bulb. (Helpful hint of the day: Recently burnt-out bulbs are hot.)]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Feeling Tired in the Morning?]]></title>
<link><![CDATA[http://altmedicine.about.com/od/drcathywongsanswers/f/tiredmorning.htm]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[Uh oh: "If you regularly drink coffee or caffeinated sodas, consider cutting back ... consuming too much caffeine creates a vicious cycle, a dependency on caffeine, and can drain energy." I think I might have identified my problem. I spent about ten minutes this morning considering whether I should put a coffee pot at my desk, to cut out that pesky walk to the kitchen. ]]></description>
