Is there any one else out there who gets very confused about the dates and meanings of Christmas and New Year customs in Britain?

Generally we regard traditions as having happened at the same time for many centuries where, in fact, calander changes in 1725 meant that this is inaccurate.

See here for clear explanation

Before 1725....

Christmas Day was celebrated on 6th January

New Years Day was 25th March

This would mean that songs such as The Apple Tree Wassail would be sung in March when the buds and blossom were likely to be appearing (makes sense) and the Plough Monday traditions
could well have been in April when the fields would begin to be worked after lying fallow through the winter months.

Can anyone else think of any songs or customs that would fit more sensibly into this new time frame?
