As cold weather finally starts to settle in for our region of the country, US Family Health Plan wants to share 5 simple and inexpensive tips to help you stay healthy and happy in January. Of course, this is no match for a long cruise in the Caribbean, but these 5 easy tips can help you stave off winter blues and unwanted sniffles without too much of a change in your daily routine.
New Year’s Eve is one of the biggest celebrations of the year. Think about it -- Times Square, the New Year’s Eve Ball Drop, champagne toasts, old classic movies, midnight kisses, and endless parties. But after all the partying is over, reality sinks in and we enter the first month of a brand new year. What a difference a day makes!

A common focus of the holiday season is to share and celebrate family togetherness. Even extended families, normally separated from each other throughout the year, manage to somehow reconnect during the holidays. This is the spirit that defines the season. So for many military families, where a loved one may be absent due to military deployment, truly being able to enjoy season’s festivities may be more difficult.

We all love the holiday season, but wonder how can we increase the joy and decrease the stress that comes hand in hand with it? Each year, we hope to pull off the perfect holiday with less spending, less craziness, less running around, and less pressure. The main question is how do you enjoy more of the holiday while doing less? How do you keep the holidays happy even if you have to spend it away from some of your loved ones?
