The Month of January
The Month of January promises a new beginning. We drum out the old and sing in the new; we make resolutions, promises, and have Great Expectations. We celebrate New Year's Day on the 1st and Chinese New Year on the 23rd. We remind ourselves of the virtues of Peace and Living Together on Martin Luther King Jr.'s day on the 16th. The month highlight's good health as well by celebrating
