The holidays are a wrap, and the first day back at work can be a huge bummer. But there is a way to beat this massive case of the Mondays: start planning for the next vacation! Miami in February is a must, but if you have some Christmas cash, a weekend skiing/snowboarding excursion is a great way spend it.
