The New Year
American Style
Tailing on friends on New
Year's Day is said to have
been started centuries ago by
the Chinese. And, in the United
States, especially in cities, such
as New York, this custom be
gan early. Dutch settlers are
credited with beginning this
pleasant practice. The men
called on the women; so the la
dies saw men friends at least
once a year. It is said that
George Washington was sur
prised by this custom when he
went to New York, as the first
elected Chief Executive. Gradu
ally, the calling idea spread
from the East coast to other
states, and for many decades
was a popular way of opening
a new year.
Our first President started
the precedent (which continued
to this century ) of holding open
house for the general public on
January 1. He and his wife,
Martha Washington, continued
such social affairs during the
seven years the national capitol
was in Philadelphia. Although
John and Abigail Adams
moved into the White House in
Washington, D.C.. before it was
completed, they managed to
hold a reception there on New
Year's Day in 1800.
Thomas Jefferson followed
their example. In 1804. forex-
ample, he held open house,
from twelve noon until 2 P.M.
During this period, a large
number of guests arrived, in
cluding government officials,
diplomats, military officers,
and even some Cherokee Indi
an Chiefs, along with "most
of the respectable people of
Washington and Georgetown.”
On this notable occasion, the
Marine band played, and
"abundant refreshments” were
served.
Other Chief Executives con
tinued this custom and various
Washington social leaders re
ceived friends and constituents
on New Year’s Day.
