| Summary |
New Year's stories represented the old year as an old man with a scythe and the diaper clad baby represented the New Year. These customs are as celebrated for the last 236 years (written in 1988) in American. The use of Julian or Georgian calendars explain why some celebrations or an old deed or diary uses dates (years) that seem incorrect. |
