St. Mary Magdalene is one of the most important female disciples of Christ, and the first to witness the resurrection. A faithful servant to Christ, and a reformed sinner, Mary Magdalene is a witness to the power of Christ's mercy.
At first she sought but did not find, but when she persevered it happened that she found what she was looking for. When our desires are not satisfied, they grow stronger, and becoming stronger they take hold of their object. Holy desires likewise grow with anticipation, and if they do not grow they are not really desires. Anyone who succeeds in attaining the truth has burned with such a great love. As David says: My soul has thirsted for the living God; when shall I come and appear before the face of God? And so also in the Song of Songs the Church says: I was wounded by love; and again: My soul is melted with love.
--Sermon by Pope St. Gregory the Great

I don't know, Julian. I am pretty anti-ugg myself. I certainly cannot do uggs, I am too short and look ridiculous. I am more partial to the knee high boot look with jeans tucked in - but I am too short for that and look silly too!!! I like the sleeker look and uggs are not as sleek -- though they certainly are warm!! ;-)
You know where I stand. There are other ways to keep your feet warm...don't do it!
i've TOTALLY enjoyed the warmth of my uggs... they're not the prettiest but they have been very worth it!
Thanks so much for your advice ladies! I'm still totally torn. However, after looking at my checking account online, I decided to walk right past the department store and to a coffeehouse to buy a hot chocolate. One way or another, I'll keep warm this winter!
