Not quite everyone everywhere, John.  It's often easy to assume the whole world does everything like we do, but there are a multitude of cultures and belief systems to take into account.  Here's a small list of countries and people who do not follow the Gregorian New Year (from
wikipedia):

Ethiopian New Year called Enkutatash. It is celebrated on September 11 (September 12 in leap years).

The Odunde Festival is also called the "African New Year" is celebrated in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the United States on the second Sunday of June.

Cambodian New Year (Chaul Chnam Thmey) is celebrated on April 13 or April 14.

Chinese New Year is celebrated in many countries around the world. It is the first day of the lunar calendar and is corrected for the solar every three years.

Korean New Year, called Seollal, is the first day of the lunar calendar.

Thai New Year is celebrated on April 13 or April 14 and is called Songkran in the local language.

Vietnamese New Year normally falls between 20 January and 20 February.

In the Gwaun Valley, Pembrokeshire, Wales the new year is celebrated on January 13, based on the Julian calendar.

Hijri New Year in the Islamic culture is also known as Islamic new year is the day that marks the beginning of a new Islamic calendar year. New Year moves from year to year because the Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar.

Nowruz marks the first day of spring and the beginning of the year in Iranian calendar. It is celebrated on the day of the astronomical vernal equinox.
Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year, falls during September or October.

Hindu in Assam, Bengal, Kerala, Nepal, Orissa, Punjab and Tamil Nadu celebrate the new year when the Sun enters Aries on the Hindu calendar. This is normally on April 14 or April 15.

Unlike most other calendar systems in India, the New Year's Day on the Malayalam Calendar is not based on any astronomical event. It is just the first day of the first of the twelve months on the Malayalam Calendar.

The Sikh New Year is celebrated as per the Nanakshahi calendar. The epoch of this calendar is the birth of the first Sikh Guru, Guru Nanak in 1469. New Year's Day falls annually on what is March 14 in the Gregorian Western calendar.

Sinhalese New Year is celebrated in Sri Lankan culture predominantly by the Sri Lankan Sinhalese, while the Tamil New Year on the same day is celebrated by Sri Lankan Tamils. The Sinhalese New Year marks the end of harvest season, by the month of Bak (April) between April 13 and April 14.

Telugu New Year (Ugadi), Kannada New Year (Yugadi) is celebrated in March (generally), April (occasionally).


Globally yours,
Michael in so. Cal.

Hippy Nude Year!
