New Year’s Day is a time of resolutions and starting fresh for some, while for others it is spent recovering from a big, late night spent with friends and family.
The holiday season begins with Thanksgiving in Norfolk Island. That’s right, Norfolk Island is one of the only countries outside the United States to observe Thanksgiving Day, although they do so on the final Wednesday of November instead of the final Thursday.
After the Christmas season ends, the time between Christmas and New Year’s Day is at a time for celebration, fun, and relaxation. Celebrations are simple, consisting of get-togethers, toasts and the making of new year’s resolutions.
