The Christmas season brings with it not only the well-discussed pagan origins of Christmas but also the often-overlooked New Year's Eve celebrations that follow just a week later. While much has been said about Christmas, it is rare to hear or read about the customs surrounding New Year's Eve. The Internet lacks substantial content on this topic, with some of the more notable articles coming from church of God groups, such as the well-written piece by William H. Ellis titled "The Truth About New Year's!" from the December 1964 Plain Truth magazine, which remains relevant despite its age. On online forums, opinions vary, with some asserting that true Christians should not celebrate New Year's due to its pagan roots. Unlike the biblical New Year, which begins in early spring and serves merely as a calendar marker without any directive for celebration, modern New Year's Eve customs include counting down the last seconds of the old year, drinking champagne, and other festive behaviors not rooted in scriptural instruction.
