The celebration of New Year's Eve is a means of insuring the continuation of life. On 31 December a threat to the New Year appears in the guise of the Grim Reaper. His object is to use his scythe to kill the New Year baby who symbolizes the New Year. Noisemaking is the principal means of thwarting the Grim Reaper. When midnight arrives with the babe secure, the celebrants sing AULD LANG SYNE, "For old time's sake," to welcome another year of existence. DAVID F. TRASK

How often does new years fall on Sunday?
New Years day falls on Sunday four times in a 28 year cycle. So if you start from any one of the following years, 1950, 1978, 2006, 2034, or 2062 (note that they are all 28 years apart) which all have New Years day falling on Sunday, and then add 6 years to the year, New Years day will be on Sunday again. Then, if you add 5 more years to that year, New Years will fall on Sunday again. Then add 6 more years and finally add 11 more years to the year, they will all result in years that have New Years falling on Sunday. This cycle repeats indefinitely. It has been repeating for at least 2000 years when we started using the current calender. This same 28 year cycle works on all calender days (except February 29) but each calender day will have different starting years for the cycle. The +6,+5,+6,+11 year thing still applies.
