In the United States, January 1st is a recognized federal holiday, closing government offices, financial institutions, and most corporate workplaces.
The tradition of welcoming the new year on January 1 originated in 45 BC when Julius Caesar introduced the Julian calendar, dedicating the day to Janus, the Roman god of doors and beginnings, who had two faces looking forward and backward. Today, common traditions include setting New Year's resolutions, watching the Times Square ball drop, and gathering for traditional holiday meals.
