[QUOTE="texan, post: 1075172, member: 38206"] [B]On this day, 1 Jan 2013, The world’s most celebrated holiday, New Year’s Day, has been observed on January 1 in most English-speaking countries since 1751when the British calendar act was passed. Before that, folks wished everyone a Happy New Year on March 25, to coincide, approximately, with the beginning of spring. [/B] [B]In many other countries, it is customary to wish everyone a Happy Birthday (rather than Happy New Year) on January 1st since the day is called Everyman’s Birthday; the day when everyone gets a year older whether it’s their real birthday or not. For some unknown reason, this rule also applies to race horses. No matter when they were born, all race horses become a year older today. So, wish a horse and your friends, “Happy Birthday” today, and don’t nag them about their ages. [/B] [/QUOTE]
