Although people have been ushering in the New Year for centuries, it did not become an official holiday until 1582 by Pope George XIII. At midnight, people were instructed to yell, holler, and blow horns to scare away the evil spirits of the previous year so that the New Year would be joyous and filled with opportunity. Nearly 500 years later, the New Year is still greeted by whooping and hollering but in a celebratory manner instead!No manner what your New Year's plans may be, remember to be safe as you end the end with a smile!
God Bless,
