Titera's Tidbit: New Year's Day
New Year's Day is the first day of the year. On the modern Gregorian calendar, it is celebrated on January 1, as it was also in ancient Rome (though other dates were also used in Rome). In all countries except for Israel using the Gregorian calendar as their main calendar, it is a public holiday. Jan. 1 on the Julian calendar corresponds to Jan. 14 on the Gregorian calendar.
