Description

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Here’s to a fantastic, amazing, wonderful 2014!

January, the month of new beginnings and making/breaking new year’s resolutions. Though traditionally winter was considered a month-less period, eventually January replaced March as the first month in the Roman calendar. It was named after the god of the doorway, Janus who was said to have two faces allowing him to look backwards and forwards into the old and new year simultaneously. The Anglo-Saxons called January ‘wolf monath’ because hungry wolves came into towns in search of food. It’s typically the coldest month in the northern half of the world (and the warmest on the other half).

January's birthstone is the garnet representing constancy. The month’s flower, the carnation, symbolizes love and fascination and is one of the world's oldest cultivated flowers.

It is the month of New Year’s Day, Fruit Cake Toss Day (the third) and Rubber Duckie Day (the thirteenth), Thank You month, Hot Tea Month, and Clean Up Your Computer Month. Personality traits of those born in January include ambition, a love to teach, critical, hardworking, reserved, and the desire to make others happy.
