I never understood why there is a flu season in a particular part of the year and why its usually a different strain or type (H1N1, Type A, ect) can anyone help?

Along with previous response (with regard to flu season): In addition to the fact that people are around each other more often during the winter/holiday season…we also see:
-increased intake of alcohol/junk food/etc
-decreased vitamin D levels because we’re outside less
-decreased levels of physical activity because we’re traveling more and outside less often
-increased stress because well, it’s the holidays
This combo is a great way to negatively impact your immune system function and make yourself more likely to get sick.
