The first day of the New Year is a federal holiday. For many people it marks the beginning of a new resolution \u2013 to get fit, lose weight, or stop smoking. People will greet each other with \u201cHappy New Year\u201d for approximately two weeks.<\/p>\n
Au Pairs enjoy the new year holiday in the Chicago area as they can visit the city and watch the amazing firework displays that welcome in the new year. Au Pairs often have a lighter schedule over this holiday and have less childcare responsibilities.<\/p>\n
The greeting ‘Happy New Year’ can be heard in many different languages in the Au Pair in America clusters.<\/p>\n
