Did you know this about January?
With the holidays behind us, and our New Year’s Resolutions ahead, sometimes it’s nice to just have some lighthearted fun. For example, did you know that, aside from being the first month of the year, January is:
- Known to be the coldest month in the Northern Hemisphere and the warmest in the Southern Hemisphere. (Yet, at the Olympia Lodge, we generally have fewer than 6 days of rain in January, and temperatures stay comfortably in the 45-65F range, well above freezing.)
- The flower of the month is the Carnation, the birthstone is the garnet, and Zodiac signs are Capricorn and Aquarius. (Whose birthdays do you have to celebrate this month? Make your reservations now!)
- In addition to the ever-celebrated New Year’s Day, January holds the revered holiday of Martin Luther King Jr. Day on the third Monday of January every year. (But everyday is a holiday when you visit The Olympia Lodge. So let’s celebrate!)
January was named for the Roman god Janus, known as the protector of gates and doorways, who symbolize beginnings and endings. Janus is depicted with two faces, one looking into the past, the other with the ability to see into the future. (Here at The Olympia Lodge, we look to the past to applaud every guest who has visited, and to the future, to see you again.)
Silly facts aside, the truth of the matter is my team and I at the Olympia Lodge love it when you come to stay, and we hope to see you again multiple times this 2025!
