Hawaii State Holidays

 New Year's Day is celebrated on January 1st. It is the first day of the first month of the Gregorian calendar year. This day is a public holiday in the United States and in many other countries. It has been observed since the British Calendar Act of 1751. Traditionally it is a time for personal stocktaking, for making resolutions for the coming year, and sometimes for recovering from the festivities of New Year's Eve. Financial accounting begins anew for business and individuals whose fiscal year is the calendar year. New Year's Day has been called "Everyman's Birthday," and in some countries a year is added to everyone's age on January 1st rather than on the anniversary of each person's birth. |
