Celebrations for January

Notes

Notes

January is when everyone's gym membership and determination to use it are brand-spanking new. It's the time of year when you can't tell if the lines are longer at the treadmill or the return counter for unwanted holiday gifts. January is nature's way of saying, "New year, new me," to which most respond by hitting the snooze button until February. It's the only month where eating salad feels like a moral obligation, and finding a parking spot at the gym is harder than the workout itself. So here's to January, which starts with a bang and ends with a collective, "Maybe next year."

Welcome to the January Jubilee, where every day is a reason to celebrate something you never knew you needed to! From honoring your favorite snack to finally giving your houseplants the pep talk they've been yearning for, January is more than just the first chapter of the year—it's a 31-day festivity marathon. So, dust off those party hats (yes, the ones from New Year's Eve are still good), and get ready to embark on a journey through the quirkiest, most unexpected celebrations January offers. Who needs resolutions when you have a calendar packed with peculiar parties? Let the January jamboree begin!

Firstly, how did January get to be January?

January got its name in what might be considered the original "two-faced" move, long before any modern political jokes came into play. Imagine the Romans sitting around in togas, trying to figure out a name for the year's first month. Someone suggests, "Hey, why not name it after Janus, our god who can't decide if he's coming or going? He's got one face looking back at Christmas wondering where all the wine went, and another looking forward to February, hoping he kept the receipt for his gym membership." So, they did, and now January is the month that looks back in nostalgia at the past year's failed resolutions while optimistically making a new list to ignore. It's the time of year when you're equally likely to find a half-eaten fruitcake and a brand-new treadmill gathering dust in the same room. Thanks, Janus, for being the patron saint of New Year's resolutions and recycled regrets.
