"New Year... for their resolutions? (light hearted please 
It's a new beginning for lots of people. I hope to go to the gym more. "
So what makes it a new beginning at the stroke of midnight? |

"New year, new start...guess it makes sense to some to start a new year with any changes they want to make?"
And do you think it is different from saying... It is Monday so I ll start with my new diet/ exercise regime or whatever then?

"Yes new year new start not many will outlive January though  "
I have heard that - and actually I dont make New Years Resolutions for that reason. I kind of decide on any changes i want to make during the month of December and I try and implement their beginning before 1st January so it does not feel like a New Years Resolution |

I suppose in just comes down to tradition, out with the old and in with the new
And some info from google...
The ancient Babylonians made promises to their gods at the start of each year that they would return borrowed objects and pay their debts.
The Romans began each year by making promises to the god Janus, for whom the month of January is named.
In the Medieval era, the knights took the "peacock vow" at the end of the Christmas season each year to re-affirm their commitment to chivalry. |

Julie and XredX... that makes a lot of sense.. that the resolutions are ultimately based in some religious beliefs, going along with the thought of sacrifice or something.
Taking this a bit further... what do we need to sacrifice to the God of Sex?;-) |

"What about the Chinese New Year instead? I've celebrated that before but didn't make any resolution. "
That is a really interesting point - I dont know if it is a Chinese tradition to make resolutions but it would be interesting to know!

I never have any new year's resolutions.
If I want to make a change, then I just do it. Why wait a year?!!
I started my diet on November 30th, took a few days off for xmas then back on it tomorrow. |

From what I have read regardless of creed yes it is custom to do so.
Take Catholics for example lent is a time they give up things. |

You know I could never understand the sense of that. For example of giving up meat... to me that would be no sacrifice whatsoever. |

The tradition behind a new year resolution that sets it apart from others is it is made at the start of whatever year you may celebrate and kept for that whole year.
So come November you've done it |

Well New year being a celebration and Lent yes is to sacrifice and I would definitely struggle to give meat up. |
