"This year's book, at midnight, turns to footnote in the next."

1. The month of January is named after Janus, the Roman god of doors and gates. Janus is often depicted with two faces, one looking back at the old year and the other looking forward to the new year. This symbolism stands for the transition from the past to the future.

2. In Scotland, the first person to enter a house on New Year's Eve after the stroke of midnight is known as the "first-footer". It is considered particularly lucky if this person is a tall, dark-haired man and brings gifts such as whisky, shortbread and coins.

3. For fashion enthusiasts, the New Year can be a symbolic time to treat yourself to a new luxury handbag. For some people, it is a tradition to buy or receive a new handbag to start the new year with a fresh and stylish accessory. This can be seen as a form of self-expression and a symbol of personal growth.
