We took most of our Christmas decorations down yesterday.  We still have some winter decor adding a bit of detail to our home, but it lacks the shimmer and shine that the month of December brings.  The brightly wrapped presents that were nestled under the tree and the fuzzy stockings that adorned the stairway have been replaced by. . .nothing.  So although it is the start of a new year, it feels a bit anti-climatic.

Rather than focusing on the absence of such things, I’ve decided to focus on the new and interesting things to come in the month of January.

• Go Shopping Info will be displaying a new look in the next few weeks.  As we continue to provide insight on fashion and bargains for men and women, we also are adding a biweekly feature on fashion for teens.  Checking GSI out for the latest on saving and style savvy!
• The world of sports is becoming exciting again.  The NHL will have a season, albeit shortened.  The NFL is one week into the playoffs.  Visit Buzzer Eagle to find out what are the top picks for sport viewing each weekend.
• Want to educate yourself on birth defect prevention?  The editors of Health Eagle have chosen this topic as the observance for the month of January.  Return weekly to learn more.
• If you’re seeking some intellectual debate, head over to Camp Campaign to see what topics are political columnists are covering.  They always are ready to engage in some conversation, so leave a comment and share your thoughts.

Whatever you choose to read or do, be sure to find something that engages and inspires.  Don’t give in to the doldrums of January.
