January: National Hobby Month

national hobby month
knitting is one of the most popular hobbies

January in the Northern hemisphere is cold, wet, and often covered in snow, making it perfect for hobbies like baking, learning a new language, or ice fishing.

Hobbies are any activity or interest done outside of one’s usual job. The main purpose is enjoyment. The word “hobby” comes from a 13th century term that referred to a small horse or pony. Around the 1500s, it came to describe a toy horse, a hobbyhorse. This evolved into the modern sense of a hobby being a favored pastime.

Hobbies range from fishing, playing sports, photography, and gardening to writing poetry, doing puzzles, knitting, and collecting stamps. Engaging in hobbies is a great way to relax, reduce anxiety, and improve concentration.

Celebrate your favorite hobby this month; share it with friends by having a hobby party, or research different hobbies with your children and select a new one to try.
