Is New Year sign of Crusader's Imperialism?

So many different people with their own calenders celebrate the new year.

Does this proof that the crusaders fully conquered the world thus the submitted nations celebrate the calender of those ruling them?

Who's forcing you or anyone to celebrate the 1 January new year? I live in England and I don't. In fact, I've always found it remarkably stupid to start the new year in the middle of Winter. I find the old idea of starting it in Spring/March way more sensible. New life, new start and such. This was observed in England until about the Early Modern Period.

We could have been using the Islamic calendar, but unfortunately you guys stopped being good at Imperialism several centuries ago.

It's good that you don't seem bitter about that at all. A lesser person might still be mentally stuck in the 13th C.

Happy New Year :):confettiball::partypooper::partypooper::confettiball:

I believe it can be traced back to Bohemond of Antioch who had a dream of waking up on the 1st of January and watching CNN showing a 5 minute montage of fireworks displays from all over the world as the clock struck 12.

Pope Urban II was the first one to think of marking the event with street parties too.

What part of the world do you live in? (e.g. Middle east? United States? Europe?)

The OP is clearly a well balanced Muslim: he has a chip on each shoulder!

Living in England, I've never made a big deal of the New Year: it feels too Scottish: drunken Glaswegians singing Old Lang Syne! Is that because we've never been on the receiving end of a Crusade? — only jihads.

And Vlad (Putin) wants to put a stop to this thus making him the Devil incarnate! Knight Templar indeed....
