There are varied reasons why we celebrate the new year, with the main one being it’s a celebration of a new calendar year. Special attention and meaning is always given to new things in life. This article will talk about a couple of reasons why we celebrate the new year.
Some facts about New year’s celebration
Several religions have their different dates for celebrating the new year, other than the most popular and universally recognized one of January 1st, which was first instituted by Julius Caesar, and then re-established by Pope Gregory XIII when he implemented the Gregorian calendar in 1582.
People across the globe have been celebrating the beginning of each new year for at least four millennia.
Nowadays, the majority of the New Year’s festivities begin on new year’s eve and continue into New year’s day proper, with some common traditions such as new year’s crossover celebrations in churches, parties, or watching fireworks displays.
Two significant reasons why we celebrate the new year
On new year’s day, a single strike of the clock changes not only the date and month but also the year into a new one – a new 365 days. This change is one of the reasons why we celebrate the new year because people associate the new year with a fresh start and strive to achieve as much as they can every year.
Another reason why we celebrate the new year is because it can be said to serve as motivation for new beginnings. However, this motivation can be short-lived as soon as the euphoria of the new year dies down, and some people go back to the same old habits. That is why a new year, new me slogan, doesn’t apply, except you have a positive growth mindset and a strong why to propel you to achieve the change you seek and help you get back up when you fall.
In conclusion,
I will be celebrating the new year with so much joy and happiness because it’s my birthday, and it’s believed that the things we do and emotions associated on the first day of the year has a significant impact on the other days in the year. What are your thoughts about this belief?
Cheers to the very best of 2022! May it be our best year yet.
