New Year's Day is probably the most celebrated public holiday, often observed with fireworks at the stroke of midnight. One major tradition on New Year's Day is to make New Year's resolutions, that is, making commitments to improve your life and the life of others. It is also a good time to call family and friends.
Everything you do on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day is freighted with significance for the future. The American custom is to spend the night with the one you love and kiss them at midnight. This ensures the relationship will flourish during the coming year.
New Year's Day is also considered a time of rebirth. Because of the Winter Solstice on December 21st, it marks the turning point of the year. The days between the Winter Solstice and the New Year were viewed as magical, luminous time period, when anything is possible. In England, the Twelve Days of Christmas were considered omen days which could be used to predict the weather in the coming year. In Scotland, no court had power during these days; and in Ireland, tradition held that if a person died during the Twelve Days, he or she went straight to Heaven.
In pre-Christian Rome under the Julian calendar, the day was dedicated to Janus, god of gateways and beginnings, for whom January is also named. As a date in the Gregorian calendar of Christendom, New Year's Day liturgically marked the Feast of the Naming and Circumcision of Jesus, which still observed as such in the Anglican Church and Lutheran Church.
