Old New Year's Day, commonly known as the Old New Year, is traditionally observed on January 14 in communities that preserve the custom. The tradition dates back to the difference between the Julian and Gregorian calendars. When the calendar systems diverged, January 1 according to the old calendar fell on January 14 according to the modern calendar. This created a distinctive occasion for celebrating the New Year once again and keeping familiar family traditions alive. The custom remains especially known in parts of Eastern Europe and the Balkans.
Old New Year's celebrations are usually informal and family-oriented, with festive meals, gatherings, conversations, and continued holiday greetings. People may send wishes to parents, relatives, friends, colleagues, neighbors, and anyone who appreciates this unusual tradition.
An Old New Year greeting card can include wishes for:
- health, happiness, and family well-being;
