New Years Day 2023 starts

 For the year 2023, New Years Day is held on January 1st, a Sunday. The majority of people (including all federal employees) will be off work on January 2 to celebrate New Year's Day.

According to the Gregorian calendar, a new year begins on January 1st, which is the day after New Year's. Government offices, schools, and the majority of businesses are closed on this day, which is a Federal holiday in the United States. Many people will think back on their successes from the previous year and make new resolutions for the upcoming one.

On January 1st, most nations around the world celebrate the start of a new year. Around the world, some people will observe the official holiday on January 1 and their cultural or religious New Year on a different day.

The first lunar new moon, which ushers in spring anytime between January 21 and February 21, is when the Chinese New Year falls. If one uses the lunar calendar, the Jewish New Year (Rosh Hashanah) follows the sighting of the new moon anytime between September 5 and October 5. Based on a lunar calendar with 354 days, the Islamic New Year (Muharram) shifts by about eleven days annually as compared to the Gregorian calendar. Between April 13 and April 15, many people in south and south-eastern Asia celebrate the New Year.

The Orthodox New Year, which is celebrated annually around January 14th, is also known as the Old New Year since it is based on the first day of the Julian calendar, which was commonly used before the Gregorian calendar was accepted.
