I’ve always wondered why the new year doesn’t start December 21/22, instead of January 1.
After all; that is when the winter solstice occurs.
Those in power must have had a reason.

Yes Elsie!
The answer is Rome trying to fit The Old Testament law into their December 25.
January 1st is the ‘8th’ day from December 25.
That is when Christ was to be circumcised according to law. (8th day for Jewish boys)
On the Father’s calendar, when one is born on the ‘New Moon Day’ (1st day of the month) , the 8th day is holy- It is the weekly 7th Day Sabbath- another appointed day He taught Israel. (ezekiel 46:1 template)
What’s interesting is ‘40’ days from December 25 is another ‘holiday’ on Rome’s calendar:
February 2nd- certainly secular here in the US known as Groundhogs Day, but in Rome, it is the commemoration of the presentation of Jesus in the temple, after the 40 days of Mary’s purification, according to law.
Rome knows ‘Torah’- (so does satan)so, Rome’’s calendar fits the ‘template’ but has changed/substituted His ‘days’ and ‘times’ for their own. ‘Changed times and laws’ (Daniel 7:25)
And Rome can do that because the world runs on the pope gregory calendar. They set the premise for the world.
Rome’s
-December 25
-January 1st
-February 2nd
vs. Bible
-New Moon Day- 6th month- Summer (August/September)
-Weekly Sabbath(ps- need not be on a Saturday-news to Jews)
-Day of Atonement(10th Day of 7th month-40 days from His birth)
how hard would it be for Christians to abandom that tradition?
very difficult when some are fighting to put Christ back in Christmas - not knowing He was never in there- according to His Word and His Creation.
only according to Rome is He there..and we are Roman citizens whether we know it or not.
