When exactly is New Year's Day?
New Year’s Day on January 1 marks the start of the year in the Gregorian calendar, used by nearly every country in the world. It is the most widely celebrated public holiday on Earth — fireworks in Sydney, Times Square’s ball drop in New York and Big Ben’s chimes in London are watched by hundreds of millions.
It is also the traditional day for New Year’s resolutions — a custom going back to the Babylonians roughly 4,000 years ago.
