It started around 2000 B.C., The Mesopotamians (inhabitants in an ancient region) were known to first celebrate New Year. In 46 B.C., Julius Caesar accepted January 1st as the date for New Year. It was naturally adapted globally to the whole world and that's why we in the US have this particular day on the new years.

In 1752, England and its American colonies officially adopted January 1st as New Year. Some cultures, like the Romans, initially celebrated New Year every March 1st, while some went for the winter solstice or summer equinox. I don't know if still do it now though.

Some go to some places such as Las Vegas to watch a firework service and celebrate the new years as it happens. Some Christians attend a watchnight service. The celebrations generally go on past midnight into New Year's Day, 1 January. I'd go more into detail into what people usually eat on the holidays but I'll save that for another padlet.

I've always been hesitant to do things and I still am but it's a lot better now. I missed out on so many opportunity's in different situations before, I just don't wanna regret anything I do. Secondly, would to actually put more effort into homework because thats an essential. I failed math because of that so I have to keep an eye to that. Lastly would be to always come prepared.
