ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

New Year

Every year, the calendar starts over again and we call this the New Year. It’s a special time when families and friends get together to celebrate. We usually count down the seconds to the New Year at midnight, which marks the start of the new year. This is a fun time to do special things like watching fireworks, eating special foods like cake, and making resolutions to do things differently in the coming year. The New Year is a time to focus on a fresh start and to look to the future with hope.
