The choice of January 1st as the start of a new year is arbitrary (and not all cultures designate it as such), but using one-year intervals (“years” being non-arbitrary, although a distinction may be made between solar years and lunar years) as occasions for reflection and “course-correction” is reasonable. Like your birthday, it’s a reminder to look back to where you had been, to take stock of where you are, and to look forward to where you’re headed.
Aaaah, that’s bullcrap. New Year’s Day was invented by the IRS to serve as the dividing line between tax terms.
