Think about it, it really is just the start of 365 days and what about that constitutes the need to stay home and get paid for it? We don't get summer solstice off our winter solstice off and those are the knowledge meant of the new season. So yes the 365, which basically is an arbitrary number we as humans have assigned to mean a full circle, again with the 365° and the start of a new revolution of seasons and yes it matches the same spot in which we were circling the sun as a full circle… But again it was something arbitrarily chosen; it very well could have just started September 23 which is the autumn equinox and every September 23 would be the new 365 days so the date itself is not necessarily special.
I know I know I'm getting quite abstract but you have to admit that I am correct in that LOL.
My point being that it is just the start of a new year it's not a celebration of anything meaningful. Like Thanksgiving, again see previous post on Thanksgiving, is not important really but Christmas again, chosen for various reasons, is actually a celebration of the birth of Christ… And before you say anything, I do know that that is not really when Christ was born. However it is the day chosen to celebrate that birth.
So there is Christmas, Fourth of July (which is a celebration of our independence).....and.....?
New Year's Day has no great meaning behind its celebration so why do we have the day off?
Is it so that everyone has a chance to sober up from the night of celebration LOL because honestly that is the only thing I can see being the rationale behind it hahahaha
