In the present day, with most countries now using the Gregorian calendar as their civil calendar, 1 January according to that calendar is among the most celebrated public holidays in the world, often observed with fireworks at the stroke of midnight as the new year starts in each time zone.
How to celebrate the New Year's Day?
New Year's Day celebrations vary widely across different cultures. The celebrations and activities held worldwide on 1 January as part of New Year's Day commonly include the following:
- Many people who were up on New Year's Eve to welcome the New Year and have a day off work on New Year's Day have the chance to visiting friends or relatives, going to the movies, staying in, or watching or playing sport.
- The start of New Year's Day is usually marked by fireworks and music as the clock strikes midnight between New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.
- New Year's Day parades are held in some places and some of these parades are televised.
- Many people mark New Year's Day as the first day to start a New Year's resolution for the year.

New Year's Day 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.
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.
