New Year - the most ancient festival of the world.
During the excavation of ancient Egyptian pyramids discovered the vessel with the inscription: "The beginning of the new year."
This is the third millennium BC!
But in the ancient world the year is beginning of spring.
New Year on January 1 - the invention of Julius Caesar.
The calendar, which is named after its Founder Julian calendar, each month was dedicated to one of the gods.
January, the first month of the year, was considered the property of the mysterious god Janus.
Patron of the inputs and outputs, past and future, as well as predictions, magic and secret knowledge.
He was portrayed with two faces - old and young.
With Janus associated symbolics of the New Year as a period timelessness between the past and future.
The Romans will created the magic of the coming year, wishing each other something good.
It was believed that on this night the words take on a magical effect.
By the way the custom of giving Christmas gifts also invented by the Romans.

I hope that your New Year holidays will take place exactly so!
