Renewal and Hope
January 1st is the New Year celebration in much of the world, marking the beginning of the new year in the Gregorian calendar. The celebration includes fireworks, parties, cultural traditions (such as wearing white in Brazil or eating 12 grapes in Spain) and the exchange of resolutions for the coming year.
Other cultures celebrate the New Year on different dates, such as Chinese New Year (January/February), Rosh Hashanah (September/October), Nowruz (March) and the Islamic New Year (varies annually). In all celebrations, the focus is on renewal and hope.
