New Years Resolutions
The custom of making New Years resolutions originated in Ancient Rome around the god Janus, who had two faces. One face looked forward, while the other looked backward into the past. It was believed that reflection on where a person had been could play heavily into helping them get to where they needed to be. Today, many look back over the year and find things in their life they would like to improve. Popular New Year's resolutions include weight loss, quitting smoking and saving money.University of Kansas: New Year's Day-
