Well that time of year has come around again and in a few days we will be Celebrating Christmas followed by New Years, and because of this here at Tardis we decided to have a look into more about the history of celebrating Christmas and New Year’s.

Some of the traditions we have around the Christmas period such as the Christmas tree started before we Celebrated Christmas. The festival of Saturnalia in December celebrated in Roman times, where they would decorate their homes with evergreens. However, the traditions that we now all know  and associate with celebrating Christmas go back to around the 6th Century. It took up until the Middle Ages for Christmas to actually be an important holiday similar to how it is today.

One of the oldest holidays to be celebrated that is still very much celebrated today is New Year’s, it was first observed around 4000 years ago. However, back 4000 years ago it was celebrated in the spring time and not January. It was actually up until 153 BC when the 1st January was known as the beginning  of the New Year, this was altered to set up the calendar correctly.
