BAH, HUMBUG!
Robert Garcia Tagorda wonders what the big deal is:
I’ve never understood how the New Year’s significance reaches the level of a noteworthy holiday. For Pete’s sake, it marks a temporal inevitability. Isn’t that a rather pitiful excuse for throwing streamers and otherwise acting a fool?
Seeing that I’ll be at work at midnight, I couldn’t agree more…
It’s like birthdays, though: when one considers the alternative, it’s a great thing to celebrate. Party on, brothers and sisters.
