In the United States we celebrate the New Year on the first day of January but not all New Year celebrations take place on the same day or in the same way! China and Israel keep a lunar calendar. It is based on the movement of the moon around the Earth. Some countries celebrate in the spring when new crops begin to grow or in autumn when the crops are harvested. The difference in the date of the New Year is because of the different pattern of the calendar in different cultures.
