There are several known meteor showers that occur more-or-less regularly during the year. They occur when the Earth passes through the dust trail left behind by a comet.

I've linked an article from Sky & Telescope Magazine listing the expected 2011 meteor showers. The first is the Quadrantid, on January 4.
