Why do we Celebrate New Years?
Traditionally, New Year’s Eve is celebrated as it marks the last day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. Many treat New Years Eve as an opportunity to gather with close friends and family, celebrate the start of a new year, and look back on the previous year.
Some may set ‘New Year’s Resolutions’, which set out goals they want to achieve in the year to come. It is generally seen as an ideal chance to reflect on the events of the last 12 months and establish goals for the next 12. At midnight, all around the world, New Years is traditionally bought in with a firework display. This has become somewhat of a tradition, with many capital cities putting on a magnificent firework display, including Sydney, London, Bangkok, Paris, Rome, New York, Dubai, Rio de Janeiro, Iceland and Taiwan.
When to Send New Year Cards?
The best time to send out New Years cards is towards the Christmas period. This way they can be enjoyed between Christmas and New Years, and adorn the home for the festive period.
