Why is January so Long?

We "Have To" help January as a month. It lasts too long, the weather is too ugly and it follows a month of holidays. How do we make January more fun?  Do we look at it as the month we regroup, reinvent and reinvigorate? Do we look at it as the month we return the gifts we did not want and get the things we do want at better prices? Is it the month we plan our next vacation?

I improved my January with the iPad I had to have.  Having missed Cyber- Monday. I purchased a refurbished  model 32G WiFi for a remarkable savings at the Apple website.  I have had a great time this month getting familiar with all that it can do for me as a blogger!

How would you improve your January if you had to???
