On New Year’s Day, many people recover from the previous night’s New Year’s Eve celebrations. The day is marked by fireworks, parties, and special events, often televised. Parades and special football games are also held. The birth of the first baby in the New Year is often celebrated with gifts and media appearances. Many people make New Year’s resolutions, such as quitting smoking or drinking, losing weight, exercising more, or adopting a healthier lifestyle.
