Why don't we have new month's day, or new week's day, then?
Because those time points do not signify a full trip around the Sun and the beginning of a new trip around. New Years marks that time point and gives us a reason to pause & reflect the previous year.
And hey hey, a party is a party! If you're not reflecting or having fun on some level, what are you doing? Example, and please don't think me insensitive;
2025 won't be the same without my mum, but let it bring as much joy to all of us as possible.
New Years Eve is also a time to remember and celabrate those of us who didn't make to the end of the current year. It's an opportunity to have fun remembering them!
Not to mention, my hangovers have always been terrible, but they're even worse as I'm getting older. Totally not worth it.
Well, then don't get drunk. Go easy on the booze or switch your type. You want to know why I prefer the sweeter stuff like schnapps and whatnot? Hydration. The way one properly drinks it doesn't leave a person dehydrated. That's what a hangover is, dehydration headache. Stay hydrated and you'll be fine. Give it a go. You'll enjoy yourself and no hangover!
Happy New Year good sir!!
