A Very BNP New Year’s Eve

What’s up to my celebratory sycamores and rejuvenating rhinoceros! Yes, the plural of rhino is rhinoceros, and yes, we are expanding the tree of episode summary intro species to plants and trees, and high time we did it. New Year’s rez: keep loving up on all things that photosynthesize. Check.

This special holiday micro ep is a labor of love, churned out today before I leave town for new year’s festivities. Today’s topic constellates around lesser known New Year’s Eve traditions, celebrations, festivities and stories from around the world.

New Year’s has not always been celebrated in January. We’ll find out why this is, what New Year celebration has been observed for the longest continuous time, and learn about the Chinese tradition of fighting off the amphibious demon Year each NYE (an apt metaphor for us all turning the page on 2020), and much more! Hop in and contextualize the day before you ring in the New Year! Viva 2021!

Onward and upward! All the love and blessings coming at you from the desert.

The next episode will be published between January 8 – 10.

Happy New Year’s y’all!

One Love,
Conan
