It makes no sense to celebrate the start of a New Year in the middle of winter just because of an old Roman calendar. The first of January can be cold and bleak and most of us are hung over from the excesses of Christmas. We have bills to pay and weight to lose. We are expected to celebrate in the dead of winter when it is dark most of the time and travel can be dangerous. Many people are tired of socializing by that time and have no money left for parties or new clothes.
Think of how much better it would be to move this celebration of the arrival of a new year to the first day of Spring. This would put us more in sync with nature. We could make new plans for success without the weight of winter depression to impede us. We have longer days and warmer weather and new growth to celebrate. By March we could have our credit cards from Christmas paid off and be ready to party again.
Happy Spring!
