January is named
after Janus, the Roman god of the doorway.
That's something
of a letdown, don't you think?
Of course, the
month has New Years Day, MLK Day as well as Coptic Christmas
(and you thought
you were done with your shopping).
Anyway, head on
down to The Book Tree this month and check out our door.
Bring Janus with
you.
