New Year's by the Numbers


As you can tell by the name of this blog, I love numbers. Here are a few interesting facts about New Year's:
  • About 40% to 45% of American adults make one or more New Year's resolutions each year. By the second week of January, 25% of people have abandoned their resolutions.
  • Most popular resolutions include promises of weight loss, exercise and quitting smoking.
  • More vehicles are stolen on New Year's Day than on any other holiday throughout the year.
  • The Time Square New Year's Eve Ball weighs 11,875-pounds, is 12 feet in diameter and is bedazzled with 2,668 Waterford crystals. That in one big ball!
Did you make a New Year's resolution this year? Have you stuck with it?
