HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Cheers to 2014! Happy New Year, cachers!
New Year's Day is observed on January 1, the first day of the year on the modern Gregorian calendar, as well as the Julian calendar used in the Roman Empire since 45 BC. Romans originally dedicated New Year's Day to Janus, the god of gates, doors, and beginnings for whom the first month of the year (January) is named. In present day, with most countries now using the Gregorian calendar as their calendar, New Year's Day is probably the world's most celebrated public holiday, often observed with fireworks at the stroke of midnight as the New Year starts in each time zone.
“Here's to the bright New Year
And a fond farewell to the old;
Here's to the things that are yet to come
And to the memories that we hold.”
