The reflexive verb “se réveiller”, in French, is “to wake up”, “to wake up”. A state of alert for what is to come. The common sense to us is that of vigil for the coming year, a birth.
“New Year's Eve” until the 19th century used to mean the Christmas dinner and then the evening supper on December 31st. It didn't take long for the term to be popularized as the New Year's Eve party, whether in celebrations with friends, family or even strangers.
The truth is that the date was not always one of tourism, superstitions or lavish celebrations. Prehistorically, the coldest time in the Northern Hemisphere is what our Gregorian calendar today calls December. So, at that time, the year started with spring, on March 23, when the proper crops were planted. Hence the idea of a fresh start. Cycles and harvests.
January 1st only became New Year's Day in 1582, with the introduction of the Gregorian calendar in the West.
