Go have fun: A "cold" is a viral infection, usually acquired by hand to mouth or inhaling droplets, from a cough or sneeze, containing virus or viral spores. A crowded movie theater is one such source but so is any other public gathering, such as your family christmas or new year's party. Wash your hands and try to think healthy thoughts, but you're probably in more danger at the party. They get closer to you.
