To Begin the New Year in September has it’s Charm… but it is not the only moment in a year that, for want of a better term; ‘feels right’.

For New Year’s was not always January, and there are many ‘carry-overs’ from a previous era to confirm this.

Interestingly, Rosh HaShannah, the Jewish New Year, falls in September, on different days because of the use of the Lunar Calendar.

In fact, taking all things into consideration, January 1st is a relatively new time to celebrate New Years Day. Think of it.

We’ve just celebrated ‘New Years’. This is when the date changes

n the West, and dripping all over the world, the Year changes just after midnight on the 31st of December. But why January 1?

If you practice Law in ex-British Territories the New ‘Term’ begins in September. This is because the Legal Terms were set long before January 1st became ‘New Year’s Day’.

It is not only Schools and Law Courts, think of Shopping Malls. The year begin with the Fall Fashion which links into the Back to School/Back To Work shopping frenzy which begins at the end of August.

Why is January 1 is the first day of the New Year?
Does it feel as if there was a change?
Is there something ‘special’ about that date?

Happy New Year’s Day

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 New Years’ holiday is often marked by fireworks, parades, and reflection upon the last year while looking ahead to the future’s possibilities. Many people celebrate New Year’s in the company of loved ones, involving traditions meant to bring luck and success in the upcoming year. Many Cultures celebrate this happy day in their own unique way. Typically the customs and traditions of happy New Years 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.
New Year’s Day Holiday History

New 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.
New Year’s Day Resolutions and Traditions

While celebration varies all over the world, common traditions include:

Making resolutions or goals to improve one’s life.

Common resolutions concern diet, exercise, bad habits, and other issues concerning personal wellness. A common view is to use the first day of the year as a clean slate to improve one’s life.

A gathering of loved ones: Here you’ll typically find champagne, feasting, confetti, noise makers, and other methods of merriment Fireworks, parades, concerts.

Famous parades include London’s New Year’s Day Parade and the Rose Parade in Pasadena, California. Superstitions concerning food or visitors to bring luck.

This especially includes circle-shaped foods, which symbolize cycles. The reasoning behind superstitions is that the first day of the year sets precedent for the following days. A common superstition specific to New Year’s Day concerns a household’s first visitor of the year—tradition states that if a tall, dark-haired stranger is the first to walk through your door, called the First Footer or Lucky Bird, you’ll have good luck all year. Also, if you want to subscribe to superstition, don’t let anything leave the house on New Year’s, except for people. Tradition say’s: don’t take out the trash and leave anything you want to take out of the house on New Year’s outside the night before. If you must remove something, make sure to replace it by bringing an item into the house. These policies of balance apply in other areas as well—avoiding paying bills, breaking anything, or shedding tears.
Toasting

Toasts typically concern gratefulness for the past year’s blessings, hope and luck or the future, and thanking guests for their New Year’s company. In coastal regions, running into a body of water or splashing water on one another, symbolizing the cleansing, “rebirth” theme associated with the holiday.

However, many nations and cultures within them have their own characteristic way of celebrating:

New Years Food

American Citizens often celebrate 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. Some might even get a kiss at midnight. Many English speaking countries play “Auld Lang Syne,” a song celebrating the year’s happy moments. Americans often make resolutions and watch the Time Square Ball drop in New York City. Although much of this celebration occurs the night before, the merrymaking typically continues to New Year’s Day. Football is a common fixture on New Year’s Day in America, usually the day of the Rose Bowl. Some foods considered “lucky” to eat during the festivities include:

Circular shaped foods
Black-eyed peas
Cabbage
Pork

New Years France

The French typically celebrate New Year’s 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. The French also consider the day’s weather as a forecast for the upcoming year’s harvest, taking into account aspects like wind direction to predict the fruitfulness of crops and fishing.

New Years Phillipines

In the Philippines, celebrations are very loud, believing that the noise will scare away evil beings. There is often a midnight feast featuring twelve different round fruits to symbolize good luck for the twelve months of the year. Other traditional foods include sticky rice and noodles, but not chicken or fish because these animals are food foragers, which can be seen as bad luck for the next year’s food supply.

Greece

Greeks celebrate New Year’s Day with card games and feasting. At midnight, the lights are turned off, followed by the Basil’s Pie, which contains a coin. Whoever gets the piece of pie containing the coin wins luck for the next year.

New Years Soviet Union

The Soviet Union’s New Year’s Day celebrations have been greatly affected by the Union’s history. As religion was suppressed and Christmas celebrations were banned, New Year’s, or Novi God celebrations often include Christmas traditions such as decorated trees, which were reconsidered as New Year Fir Trees. As the suppression left, these traditions stayed part of the New Year’s Day celebration. The holiday is also celebrated with feasts, champagne, and wishes.

New Years Spain

Spaniards celebrate New Year’s Day with the custom of eating twelve grapes, each eaten at a clock-stroke at midnight.

Cold-water plunges

In colder countries close to water, such as Canada, parts of the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands, it is customary to organize cold-water plunges. These plunges and races, sometimes called a Polar Bear Plunge, often raise money for charity or awareness for a cause.

For thousands of years, New Year’s has been a festival of rebirth and reflection, allowing people all over the world to celebrate another great year.

New Year’s Song

The song, “Auld Lang Syne,” is sung at the stroke of midnight in almost every English-speaking country in the world to bring in the new year. At least partially written by Robert Burns in the 1700’s, it was first published in 1796 after Burns’ death. Early variations of the song were sung prior to 1700 and inspired Burns to produce the modern rendition. An old Scottish tune, “Auld Lang Syne” literally means “old long ago,” or simply, “the good old days.” The lyrics can be found here. Happy New Year’s Day

I NEED TO KNOW IF A PROXY SERVER OPERATES IN A SLOWER NETWORK

PROBABLY IT IS, THAT MOTIVATION IS NEEDED BY EVERY INDIVIDUAL TO BEGIN THEIR DAILY ROUTINES, WORKS, AND ACTIVITIES. THOUGH SOMETIMES, THERE ARE THOSE THINGS, PEOPLE AND HAPPENINGS THAT MAKE US DEMOTIVATED. BUT WE SHOULD STAND FIRM AND THINK OF OUR GOALS OR THINK OF THE PEOPLE WHO IS THE REASON OF WHAT YOU’RE DOING TO REGAIN MOTIVATION.

TO BE MOTIVATED:

*STAY POSITIVE
*STAY WITH GOOD PEOPLE
*RELAX YOURSELF ONES AND A WHILE

I have to agree my this article. Trump has a very loud mouth. He is most definitely not a person I would look up too. Look.up to what? Someone that only cares bout their self, uh no not this way. I do not like Donald and I probably never will. Its just the way he carries himself and try to manage things, he would want to be around someone like him. And all he does is constantly judge and that’s in a wrong way of course if you know what I mean! I say no to Donald. He is just gonna make america worst by being in that office watch and see.

It’s a big shame in history to really have someone like trump be chosen to lead the world’s super power. How is life going to be for the American people, what will the rest of the world look like, how will other countries deal with th3 most arrogant president of all times? So many questions come to play when you think about this whole thing.
It seems like a horror film for sure. I would ask why would someone waste their time and vote to bring in someone like this? Someone who clearly had no interest for the rest of the world and his people, the people that he’s going to rule. What were they thinking when they cast that vote surely. It just goes to show that there are people who are just as rotten. Am sorry Americans I don’t mean to be harsh on you but you made him president and now you will have to live with the embarassment of a loose mouth, filled with egoistic character kind of person, someone who has zero respect for women I sometimes wonder how he treats his wife in the house of he can treat and speak to women without respect. He feels he’s the most bright person in this world how he ended up with a woman who cannot even come up with a speech of her own and had to copy Michelle’s brilliant speech only God knows. He needs to do a lot of work on that part before he can start appearing in podiums to talk to people of high statute. Well that’s the reality of things right now. Americans will just have to find a way of dealing with alot of surprises in the coming year. Its good luck to you all.

The world must be careful of the trump presidency if not we are going to have a 3rd world war being started by trump using all the resources at his disposal as there seems to be more stupid people now in america than anywhere in the world. They are ready to do anything that their clown leader tells them. If his people who supported him did that on his lies the we are in trouble . He will woke one day and tell his people he dreamt the world is against america so they need to destroy the world and with one atomic bomb the world will become history including america itself. we are all under threat from trump america.

Flowers mean different things to different people. you will find there are those who will love to have them in their house, for the sole purpose of getting that warm feeling that is created by the different colors from different flowers. they also give a warmly and homely feeling when you walk into the house. then there is also that sweet smelling aroma and the fresh air in the house.
Other people don’t like he idea of taking flowers to the sick because they feel they bring out that vibe of death. and given that you want that person to be well the best thing is to avoid the flowers your better taking them a card to wish them well.
For others flowers are supposed to be use at funerals and at weddings. for the funeral part, at least they give that farewell though as a loving memory like to say you were cherished and you lived among us like a flower you blossomed when you were alive and now when the flower withers then they say you are now gone but you shall forever remain in our thoughts. For the wedding part of it i think everyone likes to have flowers adorn their walk way and the surroundings. it brings out the beautiful scenery and ambiance. so for weddings its just right there is no other way about it. for me flowers work either way though i have never taken flowers to a patient in the hospital. i love to have freshly cut flowers in the house for that fresh air, and last but not least flowers are an obvious way to bring someone closer to you. it brings out the whole feeling of love and that’s just the most beautiful thing ever. it has worked for me several times so i am talking out of experience.

Very well said @anita.Everyone has their own purpose of having a flower.
As being observed, girls are more fun of having flowers at home than boys. maybe it’s a girls’ nature to have colorful things around them.

Flowers means a lot to everyone depending on such reasons.

I love flowers especially roses of all sort. Flowers can cure an aching heart.It could also mean love and remembering someone close to our heart.There are so many lovely flowers in the world and they are like ladies many bees want to fly and sip their nectar the same was a humans if lovely lady many want to e near her and long to be hers for life.

@ma’am Cely, yeah, we can compare a flower to a lady. They are beautiful and refreshing to the eye of man. 🙂 Flowers are also like a lady that needs to be taken care and be loved whole heartedly.

Flowers are what that give life vibrance and add color to the happenings. We too had a garden in my childhood my mother was very fond of gardening. There were roses of different variety like the pink rose both big and small and the white too, the yellow rose, the one with mustard color, jasmine, kanakambaram violet and mustard varieties, crotons, daisy, lily and many others.

They are very important for pollination and aid the process or growth of flora in the environment. There was also a jasmine which does not give any fragrance at all. Red roses also used to be there. Usually the month of june when monsoon sets in is the time we used to plant saplings as the weather is ideal for the plants to grow. Memories of the same are etched in my mind even today. My mother had a good hand in planting as whatever she used to plant used to grow while we were not so fortunate.

Growing flower plants is really a difficult task. They rejuvenate our mood. This is not the work of women and ladies only but also of the men. But, we should be careful in selecting the flower plants. Some flower plants do not suit certain people, though we may like for them. They react with our skin and upset our moods even. My daughter is not having a taste for Chrysanthemum and it is my favorite. I can not go for it as she does not like it. My wife does not feel good with lily. So, I am avoiding it. The rest are safe. We discussed over it and finally made a list of plants we should have for our home.

I started writing in vernacular when I was an elementary student. I learned writing it that way when my mother taught me reading from a regional magazine, Yuhum, written in our local dialect, Ilonggo. When my mother going home after some marketing in our humble market place, she bought me a new issue of the said magazine. Then I took it and found a better place where I could read it by not being disturbed. I found the short stories entertaining and I thought for myself what about if I could write my own fictitious short stories of various theme or setting for the readers to read about.

Now the break of writing my first short story started about the tidal wave that had happened somewhere in Mindanao. After writing the entire story, I mailed it to the magazine’s post address. A month or so later, I received a postal money order as payment of my published short story. That’s how I started writing and later it went through writing poems, essays, and other related writing works for publication had become a reality. As far as I could remember I have been writing now for almost 26 years in the newspaper as a columnist and 6 years as a blogger.

Wow, that was applausable achievements you have. There was no impossible in achieving something as you did if one is only persistent to doing things that worth.

I am so impressed with what you achieved. Someday soon I will also be like you. 🙂 I was inspired by your story and now, my mind is full of dreams to fulfill. A dream of making something that is worth to share through writing. I believe that writing here in literacybase was a good start for more productive writing.
