The traditional celebration of New Years on January 1st partially comes from the Roman Feast to the God Janus that fell around this time. Otherwise, New Years would often be celebrated around the time of the Spring Equinox at March. Some of this still lingered;Roman consuls would take office in March, and until FDR, American presidents would take office in march as well.

Your challenge is to make it so in the modern day, New Year's Day is recognized as the Spring Equinox.
