Looking for Something Fun to Do?

People sometimes have post-holiday blues so here are some ideas of fun things to do.

1. According to Weather.com, the forecast for Ellington and Somers calls for partly cloudy skies with wind, and a high of 42 degrees. The overnight hours will be clear and windy and the low will be 20 degrees.

2. It is widely known that after the rush and merriment of the holiday season, there often comes the let down or, as many call it, the post-holiday blues. There are many contributing factors including thoughts of the upcoming months of cold weather, higher than usual holiday bills, and the weight gain.

3. If you're experiencing post-holiday depression, and even if you're not, keep in mind that here in Connecticut, we've got plenty of comedy clubs, which may be just what the doctor ordered! Here's what's happening at the clubs tonight and this week.
