With Frosty bloom --Anne Lawler January--named by the Romans for Janus, supposedly the god of the beginning of things--was one of the two months added to the modern calendar. Few today know where the name came from, or care, nor do they know that for centuries most humans fixed the beginning of the year according to the sun. For millions of Egyptians the calendar year formerly be­ gan on September 21st (the autumnal equinox). The Greeks counted their year from June 21st (the summer solstice). For a short time New Englanders began the year on December 25th! But today most nations accept January 1st as the be­ ginning^ of the year. The Romans exchanged gifts on January lst-and perhaps some of today's Christmas gift custom stems from it. The use of mistletoe during the Christmas holiday seaiwn stems from the old Druid custom of giving branches of this sup­ posedly sacred bush on New Year's Day. For many years in Scotland young boys gathered together on New Year's Day and went from house to house singing for money or something to eat. This custom was. brought to America, but "the songs were shortened in the New World. For many years American Presidents gave a reception- open to the public--at the White House on New Year's Day. For, (most Americans today the new year means a party or sentimental thoughts the night of the 31st, a holiday a week after the Christmas holiday, and the bowl end of the football season.
