Every year, more than 1 ton of confetti drops in Times Square during the New
Year’s Eve celebration.

Confetti is an integral part of a New Year’s celebration.Ǘ

With confetti comes diŷerent customs and traditions that will bring you luck in
the new year. Creating a New Year’s Resolution is a tradition. Setting goals to
accomplish in the new year is only a part of the resolution, don’t forget to stick to
your goals and complete them! Another custom is to cheer and throw confetti.
Another tradition is to dress up for New Year’s Eve and celebrate with your
friends and family. Since the new year is coming, being with the people you love
the most is a good start to the new year! Dressing up nice also sets the example
for the new year, as you start the new year looking nice and end it well-dressed.

Even in past civilizations, they had their own rituals and customs.
The earliest recorded festivities in honor of a new year’s arrival date back some
4,000 years to ancient Babylon. For the Babylonians, the źrst new moon
following the vernal equinox—the day in late March with an equal amount of
sunlight and darkness—heralded the start of a new year. They marked the
occasion with a massive religious festival called Akitu (derived from the
Sumerian word for barley, which was cut in the spring) that involved a diŷerent
ritual on each of its 11 days. In addition to the new year, Atiku celebrated the
mythical victory of the Babylonian sky god Marduk over the evil sea goddess
Tiamat and served an essential political purpose: It was during this time that a

new king was crowned or that the current ruler’s divine mandate was
symbolically renewed.

Ringing in the New Year is a time for reŻecting on the past, preparing for the
new, and, of course, celebrating! With the New Year being chimed in around 200
times in diŷerent time zones on New Year’s Day!Ǘ
