The very first New Year's resolutions dates happened over 4,000 years ago. The first recorded people to celebrate a New Year were the ancient Babylonians. Their new year celebration was a 12-day festival, which began at the start of the spring planting season in March. A New Year's resolution is a tradition, most common in the Western World but also found in the Eastern World, in which a person resolves to continue good practices, change an undesired trait or behavior, accomplish a personal goal, or otherwise improve their behaviour at the beginning of a calendar year.
