I’ve never given any real thought to the calendar on my desk. Wow. That was some work to pull it all together! Thanks for the new information in the new year!
Your “learn unlearn relearn” resolution is sort of like “red pill blue pill” from the matrix, at least that’s what I thought of when I read it.
This piece of writing is brilliant! I have often thought about who decides when the new year is and why, and it has been explored so well.
As a New Zealander everything does feel very opposite to the rest of the world. It’s the height of summer here.
We also have Matariki (Māori new year celebrations) in winter (June/July) depending on when the Matariki constellation (Pleiades) appears in the sky. We get two new year celebrations about 6 months apart.
@Michael Woudenberg Love the in-depth calendar info, but am focusing on the "learn, unlearn, relearn." idea. Brilliant use of your logo and infinity advice. I always focus on what I want to learn for the new year ... this is asking me to think about what I want to unlearn and relearn. Thank you!

Thank you for such an informative piece!
Thank you Michael for this comprehensive post. We would love to share the New Year celebrations of the Edo people, https://open.substack.com/pub/nextgenbronzes/p/happy-igue?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=2qmrk6. Like many ancient cultures, they also use a lunar Calender and have a vibrant history. Thank you again for the wonderful content that you provide and have a great New year
