Be Vigilant When Traveling. Watch the air quality and temperature. Winter air can be drier; moist air is healthier to breathe. Going through all those climate zones, Santa packs a nasal saline solution to keep air passages moist, and uses natural products that support good respiratory function.

Moisturize the Air in Your Home. Run a vaporizer or humidifier in your room at night, or take a steamy shower. Santa will appreciate the nice moist air when he stops by with his big bag of gifts.

Get Your Rest. As the days get shorter and the nights longer, we all need more sleep. Dr. Bob says children (and elves) should aim for at least 8 to 10 hours of quality sleep each night. (Remember, Santa sees you when you're sleeping, and knows when you're awake...)

Practice Healthy Habits. The holidays are a time for sharing - but not things like cups, plates, silverware, food or drinks. Mrs. Claus wipes down surfaces often and puts out plenty of hand sanitizers and wipes at Santa's workshop, where all the elves frequently wash their hands.

"Have yourself the merriest - and healthiest - Christmas ever!" says Santa. "Happy Holidays!"
