New Year’s Observance
"We went to work betimes,"
This laconic entry in a pioneer
American's journal :s the sole rec-
ord of the observance of New Year's
in if>21 by Die Pilgrims in the New
world.
Many a good i>u.,).,n ■■ iiiiiter r»-
e.ariled the celebration or even
thought of New Year's day as an ir-
reverent and impious observance
honoring the Roman Cod Janus,
from whom the year's first month
derives its name.
Yet the Pilgrims arid Puritans
came from a land where New Year's
eve and Now Year's day were sec-
S in i - ■ -.(--p only to Christ,
rua». Throughout e-.-v Engiisn
county New Year's eve wjs always
celebrated. In many d i ‘ tncf - it w.:s
cioied by the name of "Singir.fi
•Ten," from the custowi which cb-
of aingtng ti.o luit of the
Ch:r;lma;; carols at that time.
