Answer
the custom of celebrating old years or new year eve has something to do with the pagan god janus (who also is the reason for the name january). janus was a two-headed diety (or god) who had one head looking at the past (meaning the old year) and the other head looking towards the future (the new year). news years celebrations originated from the worship of janus.
