- Baby New Year has been a holiday symbol since around 600 B.C., starting in ancient Greece when an infant was paraded around in a basket in celebration of Dionysus, god of fertility. The baby represents a rebirth at the start of each new year.
- The island nation Kiribati (Christmas Island) always rings in the new year first.
- Allegedly… if you live in Italy, wearing red undies at the start of a new year will bring you good fortune. (I don’t make this stuff up… I just report the alleged facts)

| Speaking of sparkle... I know many of you reading this have started your "new year, new me" mentality and refuse to bring this into your kitchen right now... but for the "new year, same me" folks, enjoy these sparkly Oreo cookie balls. Diets can start next week, right? |
