Happy New Year! As I write this, the clock is just hours away from 12 AM on January 1, 2020—the first day of the new year and new decade for people who use the Gregorian calendar. There are about 40 calendars in use around the world, but it’s the Gregorian calendar that sets the 1st of January as the beginning of the year. And I bet a lot of people think there’s something special about January 1. Nope, the first day of the year is just a decision made by Julius Caesar’s calendar maker in 45 BC. January is named after the Roman god Janus, the god of beginnings, gates, transitions, time, duality, doorways, passages, and endings. And now it’s time for that song. You knew it was coming.
The song of the day is Auld Lang Syne performed by a cappella group Home Free. (A version sung by Lea Michelle can be found here.)
