I think that they should keep doing it exactly how they do it every year so that we'll always have something to bitch about. 😁

Marking time is a social construct anyway, and I have never seen the big deal. A lot of that might be that I spent over 30 years on rotating shift work (with some of that literally never seeing the sun) and the screwed up way military time was tracked. On-board clocks showed "Zulu" time, which I guess is how squadron made sure all of its combat vessels were on the same time. I remember once looking at the clock and it said 1:00. We had just had "midrats" which is the military version of the midnight snack. Meaning it was 1:00 am. An hour later we pulled in somewhere and it was mid afternoon. 🙂

I stopped caring what time it was after that.
