New Year's celebrations have a long history that dates to ancient civilizations. The ancient Romans, for example, celebrated the new year on January 1st to honor the god Janus, the god of beginnings, endings, and transitions. Janus had two faces, one looking forward and the other looking backward, symbolizing the past and the future.
It's possible to trace the origins of New Year's celebrations back to the Babylonians, who celebrated the new year around the time of the vernal equinox, which marks the beginning of spring. The Babylonians believed that their god Marduk had defeated the monsters of chaos and created order, and they celebrated this event with a festival called Akitu.
In many cultures, the new year represents a time of renewal and a chance to start fresh. The widespread practice of making resolutions or setting goals for the new year reflects this. Today, New Year's celebrations are held all over and take many different forms, from parties and fireworks to more traditional ceremonies such as religious rituals.
Amaretto, over the years, celebrates the New Year with random drop eyes and LEs (Limited Editions), and you never know, if it will happen again now.
