This is especially true when it’s cold outside and all I can think about is hitting the beach and feeling the warm sand between my toes.

Christmas air travel disrupted by hundreds of canceled flights. – Were you affected by the canceled flights this week? Hundreds of flights in the U.S. and thousands worldwide were either delayed or canceled due to worker shortages because of COVID illness or exposure.
