Fixed. I don't think you mean the other thing. :)

I think the new year should be marked on the first day of Spring.

No, when the Earth reaches perihelion. That's where I've been celebrating it for the past decade.

I honestly don't care. Happy perihelion in about 24 hours, though! :)

'Course, there are also all the proposals for reforming/replacing the Gregorian calendar overall to make one more accurate, regular, and useful. I don't know enough about any of them specifically, or enough about the subjects involved generally, to have a position on which is best, or even have a preference, however.


Oh yeah, and obvious northern hemisphere bias with the demarcation at the first day of Spring. I guess that wouldn't quite work. :/
