It's an outrage! What injustice! When I figured it out I wanted to stand on my soapbox and shout at the world. Every year we have one spring, one summer and one fall. Every year we have two, count them, two winters! I think it is time we rise up and demand the new year be moved to March. That is where it belongs. That is when spring begins. It's only fair.

New Year
I often thought why do we start a new year in the middle of winter. It makes more sense to start the new year around the beginning of spring. Spring is a new start. There are births and new growth from old growth. Everything seems fresh and new. Then I found out. We used to start the new year in the spring. Someone at sometime decided they wanted the new year to begin in January. It seems stupid to me and it seemed stupid to a lot of people. A lot of people kept celebrating the new year in the spring. This was not liked. Someone wanted to put a stop to this. So someone came up with a plan. They started calling the spring celebrators, April fools. That's right. The new year used to start on April 1st. Happy New Year!!!!

Can you imagine? You've been cooped up in your home all winter, shivering in the cold. If you leave, you have to creep along because of the snow and ice. Finally, summer is here. You take off in your top-down convertible with the breeze in your hair, The Beach Boys 'I Get Around' on the radio, and freedom in your heart and you hit road construction.
