The Holidays are a time to celebrate with friends and family, not a time to get sick. A couple of tips:
- Manage stress — even if your not-so-favorite uncle gets on your nerves
- Wash your hands and cover your cough — remember, it’s flu season too
- Stay warm if you are visiting a colder clime than the DC Metro area (which seems to be entering Spring, rather than Winter).
