The modern New Year resolutions include losing weight and to quit smoking.This custom of making New Year resolutions first began in Babylonia when they first took a resolution on New Year for returning borrowed farm equipment. The New Year resolutions as a custom are usually made, as it is believed that on New Year one should take up new and good habits and leave all the bad habits of the previous year.Making lots of noise to scare away evil spirits is another New Year custom. This custom along with the custom of lighting fireworks is followed even to this day. Partying and feasting are an essential part of the New Year customs.
