It's
Another New Year... ...but for what reason?
"Happy New Year!" That greeting
will be said and heard for at least the first couple of weeks
as a new year gets under way. But the day celebrated as New
Year's Day in modern America was not always January 1.

Times
Square 2004 New Year’s Eve Celebration
Times Square 2004 will be a spectacular
event, full of sights, sounds and special effects, featuring
the New Year’s Eve Ball, designed by Waterford Crystal,
that descends the flagpole atop One Times Square at midnight.
Although the first Times Square New Year's Eve celebration
was held in 1904, since 1907 -- the year of the first Ball
Lowering celebration -- the tradition of the Ball Lowering
in Times Square has become a universal symbol of welcoming
the New Year.

Holidays In The U.S.A. - New Year's Day
The beginning of the new year has been
welcomed on different dates throughout history. Great Britain
and its colonies in America adopted the Gregorian calender
in 1752, in which January 1st was restored as New Year's Day.
Ways of celebrating differ as well, according to customs and
religions of the world. People in Moslem societies, for example,
celebrate the new year by wearing new clothes. Southeast Asians
release birds and turtles to assure themselves good luck in
the twelve months ahead. Jewish people consider the day holy,
and hold a religious ceremony at a meal with special foods.
Hindus of India leave shrines next to their beds, so they
can see beautiful objects at the start of the new year. Japanese
prepare rice cakes at a social event the week before the new
year.
