1. Knit - because the creation of a sock is a blow against existential dread 2. Snuggle - I have a delightful human with whom I share my life, who is not partial to having to touch other people in hot months. I, of course, would live inside my beloved's ribcage in all seasons, if possible - this causes some tension in warmer months of the year BUT NOT THE COLD ONES. 3. Bake stuff - It's an excuse to turn on the oven. And then its an excuse to eat delicious things. Making your own bread is cheap and easy. 4. Bundle up and get outside - Sunlight is important for human health. Seriously, just a little bit a day makes a huge difference in my mood. 5. Curse the dark and maybe light some fires.
Which is completely your call! Your body, your rules. it's less of a "don't touch me" vibe in this case and a more like, "You body is producing HEAT, HOW DARE YOU."
I'm a bit like a cat in the whole cuddling deal. If I want the cuddles I'll come get them. temperature be damned, but I have family that does not understand my "no touch" thing. so, there is a lot of "touch without me being ok with it and I have to pretend its ok."
