What is New Year's Day?
1.
The day that people realize that all the drinking and partying they did the night prior to (as in New Year's Eve) was worthless, because, in reality, it means nothing. The day of New Year's Eve is exactly the same as New Year's Day. It is also often used for people living crap lives to say all the things they are going to do "this new year", none of which they really will do, that end up being almost identical to last year's.
The only true difference between New Year's Day and the day of New Year's Eve, is that when writing the date, you must change one, or more (depending on what year it changed to) digits in the year category. When in school this becomes a nuisance when teachers deduct points due to writing the wrong date.
Before New Year's Day: "Dude I can't wait for New Year's, but for now, let's just get shit-faced!"
On New Year's Day: "Today is just like yesterday, except it's four degrees colder, and my head hurts like a bitch."

New Year's Day is also reffered to as National Hangover Day because of the fact that everyone and their mother is hungover from the previous night's debauchery.
I love New Year's Eve but I hate National Hangover Day.

The day your calendar in your room or where ever you keep it becomes useless.
Shit... It's new year's day. Now I gotta get me a new calendar for the new year.
