Happy New Year to all youz, too!! For some reason I find myself enjoying the Persian New Year's celebration of Noruz more than this New Year... It makes more sense to me to celebrate on the first day of Spring. Just as the Persians celebrate the Winter Solstice (Shabhe Yalda) on the first day of winter. I like the fact that the Persians have kept in touch with their pagan past, for these are pagan celebrations devoid of Islam, Christianity and Judaism -- devoid of nationality and national boundries. At least, that's how I see it and celebrate it. The Assyrian New Year used to be celebrated the same day as Noruz (I may be wrong about this), but I think they moved it to April Fools Day because they didn't want it coincide with that of the Persians. A foolish move, in my opinion (and I really hope that I'm wrong about this... please teach me). Having said that, each day, each moment, each breath should be celebrated, for we are always in constant state of change. Each day is a step toward our death... so let's live for now.
