About New Years
January 1 has marked the beginning of each New Year since Julius Caesar's Roman empire established the holiday in 46 BC. Festivities marking the close of the previous year take place across the globe in countries who follow the Gregorian calendar on December 31st, New Year's Eve. Typical celebrations involve fireworks at midnight, champagne toasts, kissing, the singing of Auld Lang Syne and the declaration of a 'New Year's Resolution.'
