All it really is is a new year. Okay... What makes it so special?

Because it's a new year.

  • 12.31.2012 7:35 AM PDT

Because it's fun.

My signature is rather loopy and elegant... I don't see a way to replicate this in text form. Do italics work? Yes, they do

Why do non-pagans celebrate Christmas? Why do non-christians celebrate Easter? Why do non-pagans celebrate Hallowe'en?

Everyone loves a party.

Because it's a new year.

But why? Alright, it's a new year, but with things such as Christmas and Easter, there is a reason. With New Years? What's the incentive?

I wonder that too. You're pretty much celebrating the end of your Xmas holidays.

It's to celebrate the end of the year with loved ones, or friends, or anyone. It's a way to get people together.

It's just a reason to be with friends and family and have fun. Why not?

Heavy weighs the crown, low hangs the head who wears it.

It's an excuse to party, drink too much, and write off bad decisions. Why wouldn't you celebrate that, that's like the holy grail of modern youth.
