A new day has begun. What is your New Year's resolution? I hope it's not "trying to get rid of my one night stand/stalker from New Year's Eve . I told you to not do anything you'll regret the next day!

It is a new day, a new year. I hope that this new Year will bring you all of your hearts desires; make this year a better year than the last and do me a favor? Change one negative thing about yourself. You know you are not perfect!

~History-Ancient Greeks and Romans celebrated New Year on the winter solstice. However, many ancient cultures including the Phoenicians, Persians and Egyptians celebrated the New Year with the autumn equinox. The ancient Romans celebrated their first New Year on January 1 in 153 BC.During the Middle Ages under the influence of the Christian Church, many countries moved the start of the year to one of several important Christian festivals — December 25 (the Nativity of Jesus), March 1, March 25 (the Annunciation), or even Easter. Eastern European countries (most of them with populations showing allegiance to the Orthodox Church) began their numbered year on September 1 from about 988.wikipedia
