New year celebration

Actually, new year celebration is not a recent trend, but it is thought to have originated in ancient Babylon some 4,000 years ago, in the year 2,000 BC. The Babylonians celebrated the new year with an 11-day celebration called Akitu, which also included a different rite on each of the days, on the first new moon after the vernal equinox (typically around late March). The Line Islands (part of Kiribati) and Tonga are the first places to welcome the New Year, while American Samoa, Baker Island and Howland Island (part of the United States Minor Outlying Islands) are among the last.
