The early recording of the new year of celebration most people say was in Mesopotamia, c. 2000 B.C and also was celebrated around the time of the vernal  equinox in mid March.  The earlier Roman calendar designated March 1 as the new year. Rome was the first to celebrate new years on January 1 in 153 B.C. and also the month of January didn't even exist until around the 700 B.C.     ]]> 2019-01-11 18:34:12 UTC https://padlet.com/haskind22902/2v1u6o8qmcs6/wish/319811722 haskind22902 https://padlet.com/haskind22902/2v1u6o8qmcs6/wish/320453266 2019-01-14 18:30:31 UTC https://padlet.com/haskind22902/2v1u6o8qmcs6/wish/320453266 haskind22902 https://padlet.com/haskind22902/2v1u6o8qmcs6/wish/320454265 One tradition is making a goal for yourself to improve your life.
