    I'm confused. What exactly are you celebrating? Why do some people think it's already the year 2013 while where I am it's still 2012? What is the significance between December 31st and January 1st, besides about 2 minutes of extra daylight in the Northern Hemisphere and about 2 minutes less daylight in the Southern Hemisphere (excluding polar and tropical regions)?
    Furthermore, midnight isn't the middle of the night.
    Why didn't you celebrate on the Northward Winter Solstice and Southward Summer Solstice on December 21st? Personally, I prefer the Northward Vernal Equinox and Southward Autumnal Equinox to mark the New Year. Why don't we plan to celebrate at that moment, so we can all celebrate together?
    How about celebrating the Earth's Perihelion on January 2, about 5 hours UTC?
    Isn't it time that we ditched the archaic out of whack Gregorian Calendar, introduced by Pope Gregory XIII, a tired old theologian, not an astronomer.
    We have changed calendars before, we can do it again.

      I did celebrate the solstice. I like to think I'm smart enough to figure out the difference. And I'm fairly capable of playing well with others. I can manage two different ways of calculating the year. I actually use three because business has a fiscal year that doesn't match the moon or the calendar. And god, just imagine if I was still in school. Schools create yet another calendar to contend with.

      And can you imagine the financial cost of changing calenders? Good luck with that campaign.

      In ancient times, weren't solstices and equinoxes celebrated as holidays?

        In ancient times, many cultures (if not most) did in fact have various festivals and celebrations on solstices and equinoxes. They were not always "holidays" (holiday = holy day). In some of these ancient cultures, people worshipped the Sun as a deity. We should all be more knowledgeable and advanced than that, knowing that the Sun is merely a nearby star (a massenergy body where nuclear fusion occurs).

    Just a comment:

    Who names their child Randy? Come on, Randy? It's like, "random person". I mean before the guy is even born, you are already stating that he will not excel in anything, that he will be just Randy, another random person, one of the crowd.
