I never understood what so great about changing the year. We have not needed an accurate sun/earth based calendar since the last time the majority of the population were farmers in need of harvesting and seeding. Weeks and months area also devoid of meaning, and again a need only for farmers, hunters and gatherers. Since we live in a digital age, why not celebrate periods that are a power of 2? Like 1024 ... counting my life in kilodays would relate a lot more to what I'm doing every day than the notion of the earth revolving around the sun.
