Happy New Year's Day
New Year's celebration is one of the most important days in most of the individual. It is the anticipation of new life's priority ahead. Creating a new year's resolution is one of the most common among individuals. Many believe in the New Year's Day's impression to last throughout the year.
I used to think, that if I am not home during the New Year's Eve, I will not be home for most of the time during the entire year. It works for me. If there is something that I want to become my good habit, I started it on the New Year's Eve. This works for me, too.
All over the world, people welcome the new year for it is one of the oldest of all holidays. Most New Year celebrations focus on family and friends. It is a time to reflect on the past and envision a future, perhaps, in a world where people live together in harmony.
In the Philippines, we celebrated New Year by making sure that we have a plenty of food served on the table. Some make sure they have money on the pockets. Some turned on all the lights and appliances during that very moment, 12:00 o'clock. My family's tradition is that every body in the house sip some water from one single glass. My sister would wear polka dot clothings. Children would jump in order to grow taller. Of course, all of these are just fable. But for most of people they would say, "there's nothing to loose in doing".
In the United States they celebrate the New Year on the first day of January but not all New Year celebrations take place on the same day or in the same way! Sometimes this is because people in different parts of the world use different calendars. China and Israel keep a lunar calendar. It is based on the movement of the moon around the Earth. Some countries celebrate in the spring when new crops begin to grow or in autumn when the crops are harvested. Adults and children have many different ways of welcoming the New Year. Would'nt it be fun to travel around the world and celebrate the New Year all year long?
