MULTIPLE NEW YEAR DAYS

"Don't be silly! We are not MacDonald's, but MacDaniel's!"
This quotable quote is from COMING TO AMERICA" as Eddie Murphy film. A shop owner of one sandwich shop says this. Although, his shop really resemble to MacDonald's in every respect, even golden arch, he insists it is consequently. And his name is Daniel, so shop name also similar consequently.
He mimicked MacDonald's, but his excuse gives justify for every thing, thanks to his name. I was really impressed his saying.

"Don't be silly! We are not The Beatles, but The Seatlebe!"
The band really existed in Japan in 1970's.
They are not imitation name. I think their names are composed by a kind of rhyme or rhetoric of literature. And I have one more quotable quote.

"OH NO! OH NO YOKO!"
It is totally rhyme, as like elegant artistic sounds. Because YOKO was called herself as an avant-garde artist.
Let's take a look at avant-garde! OH NO!

By the way, it was too much for small talk, I would like to get down on a main topic. The main topic at this time is "NEW YEAR DAY". You who live in Japan or Western world, may think that the topic is being obsolete, because of end of January now. But Chinese has "NEW YEAR DAY" right now!

In my recent experiences, I had Diwali at end of last October which is INDIAN HAPPY NEW YEAR CELEBRATION. And then, I went back Japan on this January. Of course, I had A HAPPY NEW YEAR on first as like Westerns calendar. And now, I am having CHINESE HAPPY NEW YEAR.

China has its own calendar, so 26th of January is Chinese new year day. Japanese ancestors also used Chinese calendar, but now Japanese use Western calendar. Therefore, first of January is a new year day which sounds ridiculous. On the other hands, Chinese and Indian also use Western calendar, but they celebrate their traditional festival by their own calendar. Why does only Japan have to follow Western way with our own traditional festival?
It was likely that Mr.Douglas MacArthur asked him.

Mr.MacArthur "You should have a Happy New Year Day on Jan 1st."
Mr.HIXXHITO "Yes, we should!"

I would like to ask if he thought over it well.
Because of him, I had too much HAPPY NEW YEAR days during this couple of months.
