The King's Port Inn would like to wish everybody a Happy New Year! We hope you get a chance to spend time with your family and loved ones. As we bid farewell to 2016, we must remember the blessings in our lives and look forward with hope to the future. The coming of 2017 could mean many great things if we stay positive and work hard towards our goals.
New Year's day is a reminder in our lives to try to change for the better. No other holiday comes with such a clear assignment, and such possibilities. We can make atonement, forgiveness, acceptance, or confession to any issues in our lives. This is healthy and proper to do.
New Year's day dates back to 4000 years ago in Mesopotamia, in present day Iraq. The Babylonians and the Romans made promises to their gods on the first day of the new year, and some cultures exchanged gifts on New Year's day much like we do today on Christmas. In the western world, the tradition slowly shifted to being promises made to oneself.
New Year's eve celebrations began to appear in America around the start of the 1900's. The first Ball drop in Times Square was held in 1907. Around the same time, special events to welcome the New Year started to be organized on January 1.
