- JANUARY -
January was named for the Roman god Janus. He
is the god of beginnings,
gates, transitions, time, duality, doorways, passages, and endings.
He is usually depicted as having two faces, since he looks to the future and to the past.

- SOME NEW YEAR TRADITIONS -
Make New Year's Resolutions
Making resolutions is perhaps the most popular New Year's tradition, but previous generations in particular practiced the art of goal-setting for the upcoming year.
Decorate a New Year's Tree
Who says the fun has to end after Christmas? The
tradition of the New Year's tree
goes all the way back to the 1600s, and you can easily transition your Tannenbaum tree to suit the celebrations.
Eat New Year's Food
Different cultures consider certain foods to be fortuitous for the New Year, especially when eaten right as the clock strikes 12. In Chili, it's lentils, while in Spain, it's 12 white grapes. In case you needed any excuse to indulge in donuts and pretzels, several cultures believe ring-shaped foods represent coming full circle. And on New Year's Day, the traditional Southern spread consists of black-eyed peas and collard greens (symbols for wealth-coins and green folding money, respectively), ham or pork (for prosperity), and cornbread (for gold).
Making Noise
In ancient Thailand, guns were fired to frighten off demons.
China used firecrackers to defeat the forces of darkness and i
n the early American colonies, the sounds of pistol shots rang through the air.
Today, Italians let their church bells peal, the Swiss beat drums, and North Americans sound sirens and party horns to bid the old year farewell.
