Before we could experience it fully, another year has rushed past us and only a week is left before 'New Year 2010'. This January 1st we would be celebrating for two reasons, one is the beginning of the next year. Another is the fact that this new year marks the beginning of the end of the first decade of the 21st century.
With the advent of technology we are now able to witness the New Year celebrations happening in different time zones throughout the world. The common aspect of any New Year celebration are the music and dance parties that precede the countdown to New Year's Eve. Wishing family, friends and acquaintances ' Happy New Year' is another tradition that marks any New Year celebration.
The eve of new year falls on the night of 31st December, though for people around the world the day of 1st January is also significant since it is the first day of the next year. New Year is also a time to be spent with family and friends. Everyone is in the holiday mood and even more so since a new year is another high point in the ongoing festive season. In fact, in most of the countries of the world 1st January is a public holiday.
Even though the day on which a New Year is welcomed does differ as per cultures, traditions, religions and regions. But, the most popular among all New Year celebrations is the one we celebrate on the 1st of January every year.
All said and done, the festivity surrounding this occasion shows that we as humanity want a reason to celebrate.This celebratory atmosphere reinforces our belief in the aspect of 'celebrating' in life.
