Why is 1 January the day of the year we celebrate the beginning of a new year?

Who came up with celebrating the new year on 1 January? Well, for every person who listens to this, it's always been 1 January, but why that day?
Not a historian by any means, but dating back to some 2000 BC and even further back for the Chinese, the beginning of a new year has gone through a few changes which means it's been tossed around a bit from century to century as to when a culture and/or a society decided to celebrate a new year.
Leave to the Brintons to mess with it and have a period with two different dates on documents.
None of these matters. Have a blessed and happy new year.
