Rome, New York is not too far away from me...
But, for we North Americans, do we count from the first white settlement or the First Nations? Maybe we should just use the Mayan calendar, which was probably the most accurate one from ancient times.

Exact !
Calendars are only a reference ... We have adopted the Gregorian calendar, so, for the moment, we are living under its rule ...
Yes ? / No ?

But some may still be reluctant.
You are too young to remember the English calendar riots of 1752 AD.

In The Netherlands the 17th century is still called 'The Golden Age' .
Definitely, this must have been true for calendar manufacturers and sellers!

That would play merry hell with the Christmas shopping
Indeed! I can't seem to manage one Christmas, when the date is nailed down and flogged into submission. Having all this confusion in the calendar, I'd probably just give up, or get more heavily into the Christmas spirits.That would play merry hell with the Christmas shopping

Of course Chanukah varies every year. Fortuitously, this year, the first night is Dec 24
No Chanukah's always Kislev 25th, it's Christmas that keeps changing
And today is the start of Saturnalia!
