If Australia was honest about its past... the year would be 100,000 plus years old, give or take a couple of thousand years.
Lets us not to get to carried away by a date on a calendar that is less than 500 years old, and focus on the true meaning of being present in the moment.
Who believes their is really a 'New Year' based on a man made calendar, that has no relevance to a 13 month natural cycle... or do you just go along for ride and to keep everyone happy???
Reason and sense... ???
It make more than enough sense to combine Christmas and new year as one and same when you align it with the summer/winter solstice. 21/12
Problem is... it has a ligament reason to be recognised... and we cant have that.
