The New Year...

Come December, and the whole world is off in anticipation of the new year. Of course, the new years brings to us....er....new things, well, almost everywhere!!! But what makes new year 'new'? Well, it's nothing more than the 'number' that makes it new. But the rituals and the new ways the world has adopted, makes new year actually a global festival. But whats the background of this new year, and why it starts with January? Well, as always, it again relates itself to Romans!!!
