The first New Years Eve ball was dropped in 1904 after they changed the name of the square to Times Square. When they celebrated that was the first new years eve where they dropped the ball adn the tradition started...perhaps The Times Building opened 12/31/1904, there was a party on the roof with fireworks, but no ball. The ball was first dropped in 1907. The ball was not dropped in 1942 or 1943 because of World War II dimouts of the lights. Instead chimes were rung.

New Years--Hogmanny in Scotland--is generally celebrated by having family prayers for a wholesome new year, sharing a small glass of fine aged scotch, and going to bed early. Special food includes vinegar crisps and mars bars. It is said that someScots skip the prayers, and have a second or third scotch, which they won't necessarily have shared. And they might hit the sack just a wee bit late.

Champagne and hors d'oeuvres! Some superstitious people, or people following family traditions, believe there are certain foods to eat on New Year's Day to bring good luck or prosperity in the new year such as foods that represent money in appearance. For example, for green dollars: spinach, cabbage, or other leafy "greens." To represent coins: black-eyed peas, beans, lentils, etc. Since at that time of year in more northern areas fresh leafy greens may not be available, some traditions include preserved cabbage ("sauerkraut"). There are many other traditional foods to bring in the new year depending on culture, ethnic background, and location.

Different countries and regions have different customs and traditions. In the US, the basic traditional foods served on Christmas would include turkey, ham, possibly goose, and various side dishes might include sweet potato casserole, stuffing, and vegetables.

It is customary to go to a Shinto shrine to pray for a happy new year. eating sweets is also customary.

The earliest Egyptian calendar was based on the moon's cycles, but the lunar calendar failed to predict a critical event in their lives: the annual flooding of the Nile river. The Egyptians soon noticed that the first day the "Dog Star," which we call Sirius, in Canis Major was visible right before sunrise was special. The Egyptians were probably the first to adopt a mainly solar calendar. This so-called 'heliacal rising' always preceded the flood by a few days. Based on this knowledge, they devised a 365-daycalendar that seems to have begun in 4236 B.C.E., the earliest recorded year in history.

i think nothing is open in new year's eve

An apparent or solar day on Venus is 116.75 days (this is not the same as its rotational period relative to the background stars, which is 243 days).

Because there are 365 days in a year and 7 days in a week. But 7 does not go into 365 without a remainder so that is why celebrations throughout the year are not on the same day.

No. Almost nothing is open on New Years execpt for Hardees!!!

Yes ! Open until 6 pm.
