Happy New Years!

  Today is March 17th.About two and a half months ago, I said“Happy New Year!”to many of my friends.About fifty days ago, I said the same thing to some other friends.In about four days, I’ll say the same wishes to yet another group of friends.I’ll do the same thing in July and also in September.“How can that be?”you might ask(if you ‘re from Western Europe or the Americas).“Everyone knows that New Year’s Day is in Januare!”

  In fact, the date of New Year’s Day depends on the calendar(日历)-and I have friends who use one or more of five different calendars to keep track of at least part of their lives:

  ●January 1st:New Year’s Day on the Western/international calendar

  ●In January or February(in 2006, January 29 th):New Year’s Day on the Chinese calendar(China, Korea, and a few other places)

  ●March 21st:New Year’s Day on the traditional Persian(波斯)calendar

  ●Mid-July(usually the 16 th):New Year’s Day on the Isamic(穆斯林)calendar

  ●September:New Year’s Day on most Eastern Orthodox Church(东正教)calendars(Central and Eastern Europe)and, usually, on the Jewish calendar

  And these are just the New Year’s Days that I know about!As a matter of fact, there are probably even more!
