Happy New Year, Bonne Année, Gott Nytt Ar, Bloavez mat ....





A big hug for the New Year...


But.. which calendar are we talking about ? Because our calendar is a solar one with fixed dates, but there is some luni-solar calendars with moving dates (chinese) and there were other ones in use before ours was chosen..

So of course, our New Year day is a pagan holiday without doubt which started when Julius Cesar decided that the 1st of January will become the first day of the year. This day was dedicated by the Romans to Janus, God of the doors and begininings... In France, we had to wait 1564 before January 1st was adopted.. Ave Cesar !!

Do not forget the mistletoe trick, kiss and make peace under it...


Bloavez mat !!
