Happy New Year!!!!


With the ending of 2012 and the beginning of 2013, our hopes and dreams are renewed.  Once the merry making is over and we get back into our normal daily life, it is time to think of the resolutions we have made.

You may have wondered when the tradition of setting a New Year’s Resolution began.  The tradition began with the Babylonians in pre-Christian years.  During this time the Romans took to making moral resolutions in hopes everyone would be kinder to each other.  However, when Christianity became the official religion in the 4th century, the resolutions were substituted by fasting and prayers.

During this time on January 1st, the Christians observed the Feast of the Circumcision and did not partake of the merriment enjoyed by non Christians, who at the time were honoring the pagan god Janus.  (January is in fact named after Janus.)

When the Puritans came on the scene they avoided the overindulgence of the New Year and actually called January “First Month” thus avoiding using the name of the pagan god Janus.  The Puritans further encouraged their children to use the beginning of the New Year to reflect on events of the prior year and consider the year ahead.  This brought back the tradition of making New Year’s Resolutions.

The Hilltop Pools and Spas family also looks back on the past year being thankful for the health and safety of our family and friends.  We look forward to meeting new people and expanding our circle of friends.  Our hope and wish is that everyone finds love and peace in the coming year.

We resolve to give you the best value for your money.  Give us a call today to hear about our current money saving specials.  Why not make your dream of a private backyard oasis a reality this year?
