The New Year is alleged to be first welcomed at a place named Kiribati (Millennium Island) in the Pacific Ocean and it gradually reaches other countries where it is welcomed in unique festive manners.

Many countries also refer to it as Saint Sylvester's Day and other local names linked with certain events, culture or community happenings. The best part about a New Year eve is that it has something for everyone in the most amazing manner to help them rejuvenate their spirits and dive into fun, glee and cheerfulness. For the ones who are awestruck by the fireworks and celebrate it as a lifetime moment, London tops the list for the visitors whereas merrymakers have their destinations marked as Hawaii, Sydney or Vancouver.

Not only individuals, but there are many countries and communities which have rituals, specific events and festivities specially carried out on New year like the broadcasting of comedy show in Iceland, dropping of objects in America, polar bear plunges, Eating 12 grapes, Scarecrow burning and Postal holidays.

Last but not the least, the New Year is incomplete without mentioning about some New Year resolutions that we can take this 2016:
