Happy New Year, Iran!



Back in December, I ask my friend Sara if I should wish her Happy New Year on January 1 or not. It turns out that Iran uses a different calendar than the west, and their new year falls on the vernal equinox, which is Farvardin 1 by the Persian calendar*.





So, No-Rooz Pirooz* to my Iranian friends!


(how we celebrate New Year's in the US)


*I think. I'm hoping it's the thought that counts in this situation.

    I think the only holidays the whole Earth might reasonably celebrate are the Equinoxes and the Solstices. But then I'm a big-picture kind of guy.

Comments are for you guys, not for me. Say what you will. Don't feel compelled to stay on topic, I enjoy it when comments enter Tangentville or veer off into Non Sequitur Town. Just keep it polite, okay?

I am attempting to use blogger's new comment spam feature. If you don't immediately see your comment, it is being held in spam, I will get it out next time I check the filter. Unless you are Dennis Markuze, in which case you're never seeing your comment.
