Today, most countries around the world recognize January 1 as the start of the new year - a holiday for families to gather.

New Year in many countries can be considered as the biggest holiday of the year. This holiday usually has fireworks at 0:00 on January 1. At the same time, employees, pupils and students are allowed to take a break from school and work to celebrate the new year.
