Celebrating the first day of the year in January, Romans made sacrifices to Janus by giving gifts and general revelry. New Year’s Day is a public holiday in all countries around the world.

“The New Year will stand before us, like a chapter in a book which is waiting to be written. We can help by writing that story by setting Goals.” – Melody Beattie.
History of New Year’s Day
In 153 BC, the New Year had been celebrated in the country of Rome. Initially, New’s Day had been celebrated in March. The second king of Rome named Numa Pontilius, added the month of January and February to bring the calendar to 12 months. Then the New Year moved from March to January in 153 BC. Western Europe officially named 1st January as New Year’s Day before they adopted the Gregorian Calendar. Ahead of the adoption of the Gregorian calendar in 1752, the Western Christian Feast of the Annunciation on March 25 is the first day of the year. “LadyDay” is the other name for that day.
At the time of the Middle Ages, a lot of Christian feast dates were used to point the New Year’s Day even though calendars were used to display the months from January to December in the Roman Fashion of showing them in columns. There is a belief that the modern tradition of Exchanging Gifts on the first day of the year was started in the 7th century when the peoples of the Netherlands and Flanders celebrated that Day.
Different countries will celebrate New Year’s Day in different ways, but most of the celebrations will start on December 31st by welcoming the New Year with an ecstatic countdown. In some, the countries like the US, Malaysia, Australia, and France people will gather in one place to watch the fireworks as New Year’s Day Begins.
