You were born on the wrong day.
Jan 4 was chosen because on that day in 1869, the first declaration was made (by problemists from what today is the Czech Republic - probably Bohemia at the time) that chess composition is an art.

Since I easily overlooked it on Andrey Selivanov's link, here again the photo gallery.
Thanks to Rainer Staudte for showing it to me!

Let us celebrate this day, as far as we can. I offer two leftovers from me that I composed during but were too bad to send to Jenever tourney 2014.
 (= 3+2 )
SH, original
Draw
1.b5 Ke4 2.Ka7! Kd5 3.b6 Kc6 4.b7 R:b3 5.b8S+ draws
 (= 3+2 )
SH, original
Draw
1.a4 Kd4 2.a5 R:b3+ 3.Kc5 Ra3 4.Kb6 Kd5 5.a6 Kd6 6.Kb7
Not 6.a7? Rb3+ 7.Ka6 Kc7 and Black wins.
6.-Rb3+ 7.Kc8 Ra3 8.Kb7 Kd7 9.a7 Rb3+ 10.Ka8 Kc7 stalemate
