The month of January comes every year and always seems to remind you that summer is a long way away. It’s cold and rainy and it looks as if it’s going to last forever. It’s entirely boring because there are no holiday’s to celebrate. Martin Luther King Day is the only known holiday in the month. Or is it?

Actually, it’s a holiday every single day of this month. I’m sure they are celebrated somewhere in the U.S. However, you’ve probably never heard of them. You can still ‘celebrate’ when you’re depressed with Januaritis.

The entire month of January is celebrated for being “National Careers in Cosmetology Month”, “National Eye Health Care Month”, “National Fiber Focus Month”, “National Hobby Month”, “National Soup Month”, “Hot Tea Month”, “Oatmeal Month”, and “Prune Breakfast Month”.
