Indeed, that is the question. We should never try mixing the two. The one is merely a passing of time, the other a traditional, oft forgotten, religious celebration. Nevertheless, both are opportunities to relax a little, spoil each other even more and, most importantly (I believe) spend time with people who mean something to you. The biggest difference for me should be Christmas reserved for family, New Year for friends.

I prefer Christmas to New Year. Christmas is special, a time for celebrating the birth of Christ, giving presents, family and friends gathering round and a feeling of wellbeing.
New Year to me is just an excuse for people to get drunk. I know it is supposed to represent a fresh start, a new beginning, changing your life to make it better by making resolutions, which almost never are kept, but people seem to make the excuse that because it is the new year everybody is entitled to a drink to wish everyone a happy new year. To me it is just another day. Don't get me wrong, I like a drink, but when some people drink at the new year they don't seem to know when they have had enough and if you comment about them being "drunk" they say "its the new year" and they think that you have no right to say these things.

New Year every time - no looking back just forward
