Tip of the Week:

The Natural New Year began with Winter Solstice and now begins the calendrical New Year. That both find their origin in Pagan tradition is a fact that some would rather not admit. This is because the term Pagan was given a derogatory meaning by the political propaganda of emerging Christianity, especially after the fall of the Roman Empire. Regardless of the historical origins and politics, it can be seen as a day of unity; something which unites all of humanity if only for a single day. Of course, by extension this calendar count, based on the Gregorian Calendar, which is the updated and corrected version of the Julian Calendar, is also the one which is used and recognized in every country and culture in the world. So, New Years day which occurs on January 1^st each year is ranked as the worlds # 1 shared holiday event. Happy New Year!
