Our new year celebration called Newrooz ( New day ) is a pre-islamic tradition that people who lived in these lands have practice this for more than 4 thousands years. It is a very important for Iranian and play a very important rule through history. Actually it is one of the main reasons that Iranian could save their identity after the invasion of Arabs, Mongols and others. Now it also play as a unification role for us. All people regardless of race, religion celebrate it. We are usually very busy these days visiting relatives and others. Usually eating and laughing giving present to children, visiting elders and ... Although this celebration is not related to most of LUGers. I want to say happy new years to all you. and wish you very very good time. Best wishes Ali Yazdi
