For many of us, January is a month where a blanket of snow covers the landscape. This makes it a time for outdoor cold weather activities, as well as having fun with family indoors, too. The National days during the month of January are geared to comfort food, organizations, resolutions and so many more activities.
The birthstone of January is the garnet, birth flowers are dianthus or galanthus, and the zodiac sign is Capricorn up to January 19 and Aquarius beyond that date.
National Days of January
January is named for Janus – the god of beginnings and transitions. It is fitting that this name is used, since so many people have a restart of not only their calendar year, but also of their life with New Year’s resolutions. Julius Caesar gave the month 31 days but the month originally had only 29 days in the 8th century as part of the lunar calendar.
The calendar below lists the National Days of January, day by day. Some of the days are links to pages on my site where you can find more information about that fun national day. I will update this page often with new links and fun facts about your favorite national day so be sure to check back to see what is new.
There is a lot to celebrate in the month of January. From hangover day on January 1 to recover from the party of the night before, to Inspire Your Heart With Art Day on the 31, the month of January is filled with fun opportunities to celebrate and honor national days.
