Why Christmas and New Year’s Are Exactly One Week Apart not Only in the USA?

Have you ever thought why these two major holidays Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve and obviously Christmas and New Year’s are exactly one week apart?

It may be just a pure coincidence but maybe not.
To answer this question we should really look into the origins of these two events.


Have you ever wondered how Christmas started and where?  Was Jesus Christ really born on December 25th?  Is it true that this celebration of the birth of Yeshua of Nazareth, is a continuation of the Roman pagan celebration of the holiday of Saturnalia?


How about the New Year’s Day?  Has it always been on January 1st and does the whole World celebrate it on the same day?


No matter what the New Year's tradition, in our times these two major holidays are always not more and not less but exactly one week from each other and Christmas and New Year's Day always fall on the same weekday either on a week day or a weekend day.

Are happy know?  Have you already reflected on the Old Year and considered your New Year’s resolutions, yet?

See ya …
