[{"data":"2017 is almost coming to an end, and everybody is making plans to welcome the new beginning by partying with friends and family. \nThe New Year is the time at which a new calendar year begins and the calendar's year count increases by one. The month of January derives its name from a two-faced God named Janus. Janus’ one face looked forward while the other looked backward, this is why, and the New Year’s Day is a national holiday celebrated on January 1st, the first day of the New Year, following both the Gregorian and the Julian calendar. This holiday is often marked by an array of fireworks, parades, and reflection upon the last year while looking ahead to the future’s possibilities. \nNew Year’s is one of the oldest holidays still celebrated, but the exact date and nature of the festivities has changed over time. It originated thousands of years ago in ancient Babylon, celebrated as an eleven day festival on the first day of spring. During this time, many cultures used the sun and moon cycle to decide the “first” day of the year. It wasn’t until Julius Caesar implemented the Julian calendar that January 1st became the common day for the celebration. The content of the festivities has varied as well. While early celebrations were more paganistic in nature, celebrating Earth’s cycles, Christian tradition celebrates the Feast of the Circumcision of Christ on New Year’s Day. Roman Catholics also often celebrate Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God, a feast honoring Mary. However, in the twentieth century, the holiday grew into its own celebration and mostly separated from the common association with religion. It has become a holiday associated with nationality, relationships, and introspection rather than a religious celebration, although many people do still follow older traditions. \nTypically the customs and traditions of New Years Day involve celebrating with champagne and a variety of different foods. New Years marks a date of newly found happiness and a clean slate. For many celebrating New Years, it is their opportunity to learn from the prior year and make positive changes in their life. \nThough the celebration varies around the world, the common traditions that are followed across the world are making resolutions, which is mostly about starting a healthy diet, ditching the old, bad habits, and living a healthy life; partying with the dear ones, typically with champagne, feasting, confetti, noise makers, and other methods of merriment Fireworks, parades, concerts; and many more. \nThe way how different countries celebrate the New Year’s Day is pretty amusing. In France, New Year is typically celebrated with a feast and a champagne toast, marking the first moments of New Year’s Day with kisses under the mistletoe, which most other cultures associate with Christmas celebrations; while in America it is celebrated with a party featuring toasting, drinking and fireworks late into the night before the New Year, where the gathering counts down the final seconds to January 1st. \nAlthough, in India, people dress up colorfully in their best suite and indulge in fun filled activities such as singing, dancing, clubbing and partying.  Night clubs, movie theaters and resorts are filled with people of all ages during the New Year’s Eve. Exchanging messages, greeting cards and gifts are part and parcel of the New Year celebration. The media covers many New Year events which are showcased on prime channels for most of the day. \nLarger cities such as Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore and Chennai organize live concerts which are attended by well-known personalities. Large crowds gather to attend such shows, such fun filled activities during New Year is considered a great opportunity to get closer to the loved ones and to revive contact with lost friends. The idea is to wave goodbye to the year gone-by and welcome the New Year in the hope that it will invite truckloads of happiness and joy in everyone’s life.<\/p>\nRaise the glass and say cheers to 2k18! \nHappy New Year to all, in advance.<\/p>\n","id":"1514380890948","type":"txt"}]
