DO YOU KNOW…
Thatit wasn’t until 46 BC that Julius Caesar decided that New Year’s Day should fall on January 1st, that, it was discontinued, and then made permanent in the 16th century? It is believed it was set up this way because January is named after the god, Janus, – which is the god of new beginnings.
