January Journey into the New Year named after Janus, the god of beginnings and transitions. Another year of New Year’s celebration and resolutions of new beginnings, putting the past behind us, and going forward into the future. Under the Wolf Moon, also known as the Cold, Snow, or Winter Moon, coldest month of the year. Zodiac signs Aquarius and Capricorn, birthstone garnet, flower carnations. Considered the month of deep reflection and celebrating Coptic Christmas to remember Jesus Christ’s birth Year with cheer and success. ~ January 25 ~ 8/9/2015

I got this from the Farmer’ Almanac; Birth Month Flowers and their Meanings January's birth flower, the carnation, comes in several different colors to convey different meanings, much like roses. A pink carnation means affection, while a red carnation means 'I love you.' White carnations mean pure love, striped carnations means regret that a love is not shared, and yellow means rejection or disappointment. The other January flower is the snowdrop, which used to be considered bad luck due to the fact that it would always seem to appear to grow in graveyards. Nowadays, it signifies hope and beauty. It was fun researching; oh now I know why I like you we are babies of the same month very creative and loving Hugs sweet friend
