New Years Eve History

* The celebration of the New Year is the oldest of all holidays.
* It was first observed in ancient Babylon about 4000 years ago.
* In the years around 2000 BC, the Babylonian New Year began with the first New Moon (actually the first visible crescent) after the Vernal Equinox (first day of spring).
* The Babylonian New Year celebration lasted for eleven days. Each day had its own particular mode of celebration, but it is safe to say that modern New Year's Eve festivities pale in comparison.
* Not all countries celebrate New Year at the same time, nor in the same way. This is because people in different parts of the world use different calendars.
* Long ago, people divided time into days, months, and years. Some calendars are based on the movement of the moon; others are based on the position of the sun.
* Generally New Years is celebrated December 31- January 1. People stay up all night December 31 to mark the passing of the year.
* There are elaborate New Years Eve parties with music and dancing. At the stroke of midnight, confetti is tossed in the air, firer crackers explode, and people make noise and then kiss the person next to them.
