Hi @Intentional_Witch, as Bry pointed out, I did a poll a little while ago on this same topic, and the discussion it spawned is great. One comment that stood out to me was @anon87969570’s belief that time is more like an endless spiral, always continuing and “coming back” to the same but slightly different point. While I am celebrating my new year on Samhain, and NYE/NYD with my non-witchy family/friends, I see that my thoughts align with Undomeher’s.
As others have pointed out here, it is more important to celebrate when you feel best connected than following certain conventions. This is one of my guiding principles - everyone’s path is different and we have the opportunity to steer it where we want.
