Now for the Puzzle:

In the Gregorian Calendar, New Year's Eve, also known as Old Year's Day or Saint Sylvester’s Day, is the last day of the year.  New Year's Eve is celebrated at evening social gatherings, where many people dance, eat, drink, and watch fireworks. Christians may attend a late night church service.  

The island nation of Kiribati which borders the International Date Line is the first to welcome the New Year while Honolulu, Hawaii, is one of the last.  Celebrations usually go past midnight into January 1 - New Year’s Day.

 

New Year's Day is observed on January 1, the first day of the year.  Romans dedicated New Year's Day to Janus, the god of gates, doors, and new beginnings for whom the first month (January) is named.  New Year's Day also marks the “Feast of the Circumcision of Christ”, the first time Christ’s blood was shed, and is still observed in Anglican and Lutheran churches.  

New Year's Day is the world's most widely celebrated public holiday.

 

Happy New Years!
