The New Year is full of traditions and interesting history! Here are some fun facts to share as you celebrate:
1. January Was Named for New Beginnings
The month of January is named after a Roman symbol of transitions, with one face looking forward and the other backward—perfect for starting fresh!
2. The Ball Drop Tradition Began in 1907
Times Square’s first New Year’s Eve ball was 700 pounds and made of wood and iron. Today’s version is high-tech, glowing with thousands of LED lights and crystal pieces.
3. New Year’s Resolutions Go Way Back
The tradition of making resolutions has been around for over 4,000 years! Early civilizations saw the New Year as the perfect time to set goals for self-improvement.
4. Not Everyone Celebrates on January 1
While January 1 is widely celebrated, many cultures observe the New Year on different dates. For example, Lunar New Year is based on the moon’s cycles and happens in late January or February.
The New Year is about fresh starts and exciting traditions. However you celebrate, we wish you a wonderful 2025 filled with success and happiness!
