We have always loved celebrating the new year, and not just because it calls for dressing up and sipping champagne. New Year’s Day signifies a fresh start for all of us, a black space for us to create new memories and accomplishments. In the past, we’d casually make goals for the upcoming year, but never strict resolutions.
