I actually like how you put this.
New Years is different for different cultures. Especially when some 40% of humanity celebrates it in February.
I for one believe Jan 1 to be one of the most arbitrary days of the year to choose a new calendar. Can I get a solstice at least? Because when it comes to the earth’s revolution around the sun, Jan 1 is as meaningful to the calendar as 11:21 is to the clock.
But you miss out on a lot of good parties with that logic.
So if you’re celebrating, Happy 2023!
