The new year
On December 31 a lot of people stay up until midnight to welcome the new year. According to the Bible it isn't necessary to stay up this late. In the Bible each day is considered to begin at sunset of the previous day. That means the new year actually begins at sunset on December 31. It is possible to celebrate the beginning of the new year without having to lose any sleep.
