Ring in (the New Year)

to celebrate the beginning of the year

A clean slate

a fresh start; starting over

Out with the old, in with the new

let go of the past and welcome new things

The turning of the year

poetic expression for the New Year transition

Old habits die hard

it’s difficult to change long-term habits
