Wasn't it originally picked to be the winter solstice, so that the earth was being "reborn" as the new year began? Respect our pagan history, people!

this is seriously the first Saturday in over a month where I have nowhere to be this afternoon or evening. This rules.
I have my pick of New Years nightspots...think ima karaoke it up at my friend's bar, and say goodbye to one of teh quickest and weirdest years in recent memory (for me)

Time drift (no leap year for quite a while). Or maybe they just weren't good at it.
