The Year Is Closing But NOT The Decade-Let Me Explain

Year 2000 was the last Year of The 20th Century. 2001 was the 1st Year of the 21st Century. 2010 will be the Year closing The Decade, hence the Decade does not close tomorrow, as 1 through 10 constitutes a Decade, not 0 through 9. If you go by the correct sequence, the NY Yankees have only won 1 World Series in this Century, while The Boston Red Sox have won 2 in this Century, so on 01-01-11, the New Decade Begins:

1-10, not 0-9, is how the decades are counted. If you're Catholic, Anglican or Lutheran, your Rosary Beads are 1 to 10 Beads, constituting a Decade of The Rosary, as ZERO constitutes a Number which means NOTHING of Value(Sort of like Mets Ownership);

BTW, Dear Catholic Nation, New Year's Day is "The Solemnity Of Mary, Mother Of God", though for those of you on The Traditional System with Traditional Latin Mass, The old nomenclature is "Feast Of The Circumcision", hence when The Christ Child was presented in The Temple, which both Old and New Calendars commemorate in The Gospels;

Epiphany, when the Three Wise Men brought gifts of Gold, Frankincense & Myrrh to The Christ Child, will be commemorated on Sunday, 1-3-10, but on 1-6-10, it is traditionally celebrated, especially in the Latino Communities. Baptism Of The Lord ends Christmastide in The Church, on January 10th;

Orthodox Christmas is January 6th, so a Happy Christmas to my acting colleague, Jelena Mjrda, from the up & coming Web Series, "Peripheral City", which series information may be accessed by clicking on the Title Above;

Happy '10 All;
