that's why i consider our calendar to just objectively be bad, why would the year start randomly slightly halfway through the winter? surely the obvious choice is either having new year's on the winter solstice so the year starts when things get brighter, or having new year's roughly when winter tends to end?
I've always felt that one of the solstices being the start of the year was the obvious answer, I always went for summer just because that feels like the better time to throw a party outdoors for it.
