I thought an article related to New Year would be of interest. So where did it all begin? How many days did Julius Caesar add to the Julian calendar to align it with the sun? Caesar instituted January 1 as the first day of the year, partly to honour the month’s namesake: Janus, the Roman god of beginnings, but how did the Romans celebrate? In Spain they eat grapes on New Year’s Eve but what does this signify? What do pigs represent in some countries? Where did New Year’s Resolutions originate? They drop a ball in Times Square at midnight but how much does it weigh? To find the answers to these questions and more related information please select the following link:
