Did you know that the first day of the year used to be 25th March, Lady Day ? In the northern hemisphere, this date is approximately the vernal equinox, and marks the first day of Spring. I'd like to revive this tradition, although I don't know how you would designate years. Would the year 2013 span 26th March to 25th March next year? It could be somewhat confusing, but I still like it.
And for symmetry, I'd like to create a Gentleman Day to mark the other equinox. So on 25th September each year, a celebration of male pride would be held. Hang on, that's already a significant date - it's when the Western Australian Football League Grand Final is held. We'll just leave it at that.
