Which city (people) first observed New Year as a celebration?

I would have thought somewhere in Scotland. Coming from a Scots family myself..they really know how to celebrate!

However, may have been those party animals in Babylon 4,000 years ago...you didn't say it had to be a January 1, celebration!

I think they had party hats and noise makers too

here's my link

That's the answer I was looking for dance girl. Thanx

I have to wonder if Karrow remembers any celebration before this one.

And I have to wonder why someone so much older than me is asking for my memories! (At least I don't have to rely on a picture in the attic to keep my much-envied youthful looks. )
