It’s that time of the year again, where we pretend that everything is going to change and it really isn’t. The time where you stick to your resolutions for a couple of weeks before you inevitably give up. Trust me, I usually one of those people. We also come to the time of the month that I tell you the names of a whole bunch of holidays and y’all can decide if you want to celebrate them or not. I just like knowing what they are. I am also hoping that I’m around more this year. Last year is behind me and I hope to keep it there. But without further ado, here are the holidays for the month of January.
