How to Have an Impressive New Year of 2010?
A secular festival like New Year has a very ancient historic past attached to it. One of the earliest New Year celebrations was recorded in Mesopotamia in around 2000 B.C.

Whereas, a similar kind of celebration took place in Egypt and Persia on the Equinox, which falls in the month of winter season.
