Unbiblical celebration of the new year, New Year's Eve
Celebrating the new year and the Bible
I am surprised by those Christians who believe in God and yet celebrate the welcome of the new year lavishly. The very fact of getting drunk on this day goes beyond biblical standards, and the arrival of the new year shows that the Savior did not come in the passing year.
