Why Does the Year Start on January 1? (Encore)

New Year’s Day is not only the day we turn over a new year on the calendar, but also a day where people start resolutions, companies begin new budgets, and everyone screws up writing checks.

Learn more about how January 1st became the start of the new year on this Episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
