Deaths Peak During Holiday Season, Study Shows

Deaths Peak During Holiday Season, Study Shows. (from Web MD)

I’ve heard several reasons why deaths peak during the silly holiday season or why people tend to die right after important celebratory dates.

This article is interesting and rather important. In case you don’t want to read the whole thing, here are some points you should pay attention to:

  • Don’t skip regular doctor appointments because of the holidays. Reschedule if you need to.
  • Stick to your healthy habits through the holidays, and help your family do the same.
  • Be sure you have enough of your usual medications to allow for holiday business/pharmacy closings and travel.
  • Check out the medical facilities where you’ll be traveling.
  • Ask your doctor who you could see if you need a doctor away from home.
  • If you have symptoms, don’t ignore them.

“The Voice’s” Chris Mann on “Roads” & his return to the show – CBS News

“The Voice’s” Chris Mann on “Roads” and his return to the show – CBS News.

The very best part of watching The Voice‘s results show on Tuesday, Dec. 11 was getting to see Juliet Simms and Chris Mann perform.

To be blunt, which I always am, Chris Mann is probably doing better than Jermaine Paul and Jermaine Paul was the winner of Season 2. Chris has not one but two albums out, not one but two concerts coming up with PBS, he recently sang at the Rockefeller Center and when he was on The Voice Monday night (Dec. 10) he told Carson Daly that he sang for President Obama and his family.

Now it’s true, I won’t deny it, Jermaine Paul was not worthy of winning last year, so it pleases me to no end to see both Juliet Simms, who was on Cee Lo Green’s team, and Chris Mann, who was on Team Xtina, surpassing him in their careers.

Just goes to show what I’ve been saying, that even though you may not win The Voice, it will propel you into a music career if you’re worthy and Chris Mann is most definitely … worthy.
