“A Bad Dream?” (funny!)
January Fun Facts
Ernestina was taking an afternoon nap on New
Year's Eve before the festivities. After she woke
up, she confided to Ralph, her husband, 'I just
dreamed that you gave me a diamond ring for a
New Year's present. What do you think it all
means?'
'Aha, you'll know tonight,' answered Ralph smiling
broadly.
At midnight, as the New Year was chiming, Ralph
approached Ernestina and handed her a small
package. Delighted and excited she opened it
quickly. There in her hand rested a book entitled:
'The meaning of dreams'.”
Beyond Pepperoni
Pizza is enjoyed all over the world, with Pepperoni
the favorite in the US. But every country has its own
take on toppings. Here are some popular
international pizza toppings that you might like to
try:
- India: pickled ginger, minced mutton, and tofu
- Japan: mayonnaise, potato, and bacon
- Russia: sardines, tuna, mackerel, and onions
- France: bacon, onion, and fresh cream
- Australia: scrambled eggs or shrimp and pineapple

Start a Meal with Soup
A timely fun fact for those starting
diets in January - according to a study by
Pennsylvania State University, eating soup
as a first course can reduce the overall
calorie intake at a meal by as much as 26
percent. "Soup is the ultimate comfort food
because it's warm and filling, as well as
incredibly flavorful and full of nutrients,"
the study said. Opt for water-based soups
such as tomato, vegetable, and broths; as
opposed to cream-based soups like
chowders, bisques, and potato soup.
January in UK
In United Kingdom, January happens to be
the coldest month but not over all the parts.
The
daytime
temperature
is
the
contributing fact in being the coldest
month. However, for England the February
night temperatures are much lower.
Scotland doesn’t follow such weather
trend, though.
The Naming
January as a month was named after a
Roman god Janus. Back in 700 B.C, a
Roman leader named NumaPompilius
made January the first month of a 10
month calendar which was 304 days long,
and contained no calendar months for the
winter season. However, later on 46 B.C;
Julius Caesar made January a 31 day
month.
Thanks for
