Each clue gives a hint to a New Year’s resolution. 2m j New Year’s Day is the first holiday celebrated each year in the United States. People welcome in the New Year with friends and family by following traditions and making resolutions to improve their health and lifestyles. Many people stay up until 12:01 am to ring in the New Year. January 1 was first declared the first day of the year during the Roman Empire with the creation of the Julian calendar. Many traditions, such as resolutions, surround New Year’s. A resolution is a de cision you make in order to improve yourself. The most common New Year’s res olution is to lose weight. Others may resolve to eat healthier, keep their home or office cleaner, or to do more charitable acts. Other New Year’s traditions include eating special foods for good luck, e g., black-eyed peas and collard greens in America and doughnuts in the Netherlands. Parades are also a common New Year’s tradition. The first Tournament of Roses Parade occurred in California in 11886 to celebrate the orange crops. The Rose Bowl was added to this tradition in 1902 and is still a popular New Year’s celebration. The famous Waterford Crystal Ball drop in New York’s Times Square is televised each year on New Year’s Eve and is watched by people around the World. A smaller, but similar, festivity is the Peach Drop in Atlanta, Georgia.
