Preparing for the Post Holiday Let Down

I've already starting thinking about what to do with my kids the week after Christmas. I'd hate for the post holiday blues to set in, as it has with me in years past. I'm hoping a short trip to the beach will help them end the holiday season and prepare for the New Year and a new school semester.

How about you? Does your family feel a little down when the holidays are over and the next 3 months of winter is staring you in the eye? How do you ward off the winter blues?
