The year 2008 is quickly coming to an end. With its retirement right around the corner, we can look back at some major events of 2008 including the Summer Olympic Games, the New York Giants winning the Superbowl, the Dark Knight setting motion picture records, and of course the economic recession. However, the New Year 2009 brings new hopes, a new U.S. President, and millions of New Year's resolutions.
The New Year celebration dates back to 4000 years ago in ancient Babylon, and is the oldest celebrated holiday. The New Year has not always taken place on the first of January, nor is it celebrated on that date everywhere. In fact, it is only celebrated in cultures that use a 365-day solar calendar. For more information regarding it's history, visit http://www.goalsguy.com/Events/n_facts.html.
According to http://www.goalsguy.com/ the top ten New Year's resolutions are:
1. Lose weight and get into shape
2. Stick to a budget
3. Get out of debt
4. Enjoy more time with family and friends
5. Find my soul mate
6. Quit smoking and/or drinking
7. Find a better job
8. Learn something new
9. Volunteer and help others
10. Get organized
