New Year's Eve

The world follows the Gregorian calendar, therefore at the stroke of midnight on the last day of the year, the old year paves the way for the New Year. With the arrival of the New Year, all the old regrets are tossed out, old heartburns swept aside the whole world gets busy with new resolutions, new courage to face the world and new grit and determination. Before sunrise on the New Year's Day, on New Year's eve, many new resolutions give birth to many new hopes for the year that will arrive.The practice of celebrating the passing away of the old year and welcoming the New Year with open arms is not of recent origin. It is centuries old.


Old thoughts and old ambitions give way to newer ones, but the end result is something like having the old wine in a new bottle.The most distinctive feature of New Year's Eve celebration is the New Year's Eve party.In many hotels a theme party is held on this day, there are fancy dress celebrations too. The party continues till a new dawn breaks over the horizon. The smooth transition of the old year into the New Year is counted as a blessing.
