The 2013 Calendar is So Hot Right Now: People Still Use Physical Calendars?

Isn’t it funny in our online, technical, connected world that we still like to have a physical calendar? And the 2013 calendar is certainly no exception.
Maybe it is easy to understand if you have ever committed every piece of your schedule to a computer or handheld device such as a blackberry or smartphone and either lost the device or had it fail or crash without warning.
It is a terrible helpless feeling because your whole life’s schedule is temporarily lost and you struggle through the next few days missing appointments and being late for meetings until you can reconstruct your life. In the meantime you look like an unprofessional fool going around apologizing for not knowing what is going on.
At this time of year, a lot of people are shopping for their 2013 calendar. We like to mark down dentist and doctor’s appointments, school holidays, birthdays, anniversaries and every other event that comes along.

People also choose 2013 calendar to suit their personalities – cat lovers, dog lovers, flower lovers, etc., etc. all choose calendars that match their hobbies or passions. Or, perhaps decorative, and in other languages as pictured left.
Even if we don’t actually hang it up in the kitchen, like mom used to, we have them at our desk or in a drawer or in a purse or pocket to refer to and “Day Timer” type calendar books are still popular with business professionals.
The 2013 calendar are still a popular item for businesses to give away to their customers.
This actually makes sense, because their advertising is in front of you for the entire year. Many charities recognize how calendar sales help them raise money – who doesn’t like to look at the hunky firefighters’ calendars, or for the men – the pretty bikini clad gals.
If you were going to create a 2013 calendar, how would you set it up? Would you use 7 days a week and 12 months a year? Interesting thought, isn’t it?
Most of the world uses the Gregorian calendar which replaced the Julian calendar in 1582 and has been in use in the US since 1752. The biggest difference of the two types is that the Gregorian calendar designates a leap year as a century year that is divisible by 400. For instance 2000 was a leap year but 1900 was not.
For every century year that is not divisible by 400, the Julian calendar would fall one day behind the Gregorian calendar. The change occurred to correct the Julian calendar which was slightly too long and consequently Easter was slowly drifting forward in the calendar … that means eventually the Jesus’ Resurrection celebration would have been arriving on the same day as the celebration of His birth!
God bless you!
