The End of an era?
STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP IT!
IT IS NOT THE END OF THE DECADE!
Sorry. This is a pet peeve of mine and I hate to ruin your end of the decade, new decade parties but it’s just not right!

If you want, you can read this link below. You can also realize that just because the whole world has made a mistake does not make that mistake a truth. Or you can just start counting.
Ready? Everybody. Let’s start.....
1, 2,3...
Did anybody start with zero? Of course not we all start counting with the number one. So let’s count the years. Year one, year two, year three,… And year 10. First decade!
Next decade... Year 11, year 12..13,14,15,16,17,18,19.... and 20. Next decade.
2020 is the last year of the 2nd decade of the 21st century. The third decade starts with 2021. If you still dont get it, start with the actual days and count forward. ( Hint: 365 days in a year. Dont forget the leap year. Silly earth, why take 365.25 days to round the sun. Cant it just do it evenly?).
Let me know when you get to today... 😀
Sorry again... I really don’t mean to rain on anyone’s parade but since my job is literally to count the days and tell the young ones what happened in those days before today it just is a pet peeve of mine. Now of course if you want to understand this, still have a party and know it’s a fake party and then have another real party at the end of 2020 because you like to party, then I am all for that!
Oh... Happy New Year everyone. Enjoy!
