Happy New Year to all
from Your Name
The Earth begins another trip around the sun January 1, and we'll travel more than 583 million miles (tired yet?) in 365.24 days.
This is also leap year!
This day has been observed as New Year's Day in most English-speaking countries since the British Calendar Act of 1751. Before that time, the New Year began on March 25, about the date of the vernal equinox.
January 1 is a day when people resolve to make improvements in the coming year. If a new home is on your to-do list, I hope you'll think of me to help you buy the home you love. Or sell!
Here's hoping you have a new year filled with love, luck, and prosperity!
