It only comes twice a year
Today marks one of the two “Year Days” of theAbysmal Calendar.
The Year Days occur 260 days before and 260 days after the Dec 21 New Year. As a result, the Year Day bears the same number~glyph from the 260-day calendar as the New Year.
In this case, today, 12~VIII (Rabbit) will occur again on Dec 21 2023 to mark the coming New Year.
What this means is that the first 104 days of the year (Dec 22 to Apr 4) and the last 104 days of the year (Sep 8 to Dec 20) repeat the same number~glyphs.
While theAbysmal’s 260-day calendar was derived from the Mesoamerican calendar system, it’s unsure whether they celebrated a New Year and equivalents to the Year Day in their system. This may be something entirely new, and to be honest, we could all use a few more holidays.
Incidentally, the Chinese Year of the Water Rabbit (水兔) overlaps with theAbysmal Year 12~Rabbit from Dec 21 2023 to 9 Feb 2024.
