Most of you probably know that January takes its name from the Roman god Janus because he has two faces, one that looks back to the year before and one that looks ahead to the New Year.

In today’s pop culture, we’d call that Janus’s super power.

Looking back can help you learn from what worked and what didn’t work.

Looking forward can help you replicate your successes and avoid last year’s mistakes.

Here are 7 Fun Facts you may not know about the month of January.

1. Separations and divorces happen more often in January than in any other month.

2. The Rose Parade on January 1 has been held every year since 1890.

3. Speaking of the Rose Parade, it’s now broadcast worldwide and has viewers in more than  100 countries.4. The Anglo-Saxons called January Wulfmonath, which means month of hungry wolves.

5. Charlemagne called this month Wintermanoth, which meant of course Winter Cold Month.

6. Winter Cold Month makes sense if you live in the Northern Hemisphere because January is usally the coldest month of the year.

7. Are you an Anglophile, a person who loves all things British? If so, you might want to adopt the practice of Dry January, a movement in the UK to promote public health that encourages people to quit drinking alcohol for the month.

Takeaway Truth

Make the most of the first month of the New Year. 

Cold winter days are perfect for cuddling on the couch with someone you love.

They’re also great for reading. Pick up a good book. Enjoy!
