Tarana, I'm just glad to have
anyone notice what I post.
I'm all for celebrations, just as long as there aren't too many of them, else they lose their special-ness.
BTW--Druids, and other primitive Northern European people, celebrated
two times in the year--summer solstice and winter solstice. That's makes a whole lot more sense than celebrating New Year's at some arbitrary point in the (elliptical) orbit of the earth around the sun. Summer solstice and winter solstice are not arbitrary, but reflect a reality (I'll say the peak of summer and the peak of winter, respectively, to keep it simple (that, and the fact that I probably wouldn't explain it correctly.
)).
The Druids,
et al. may have celebrated some day as New Year's Day, too, I dunno. My Druid history and anthropology is a little bit rusty.
Happy Saturday.
