Where New Year's Day comes from
Starting the year on January 1 is a Roman inheritance: in 153 BC the consuls began taking office on that date, and Julius Caesar's Julian calendar locked the custom in 45 BC. The Gregorian calendar of 1582 kept it, and today the turn of the year is the most universal civil celebration on the planet.
