Many people around the world celebrate December 31st as New Year's eve with
drinking parties and resolutions lasting into the 1st of January. What is
the connection between January 1st and New Year's Day? Was January 1st
sacred to the pagan god Janus? Were New Year's celebrations condemned for
Christian use by the historian Tertullian? Was not New Year's Day
supposedly presided over by the pagan goddess Strenua to whom pagans made
resolutions to?
