For Christmas we have the Baby in the manger.
For New Years we have the New Year's Baby. No one believes in this baby literally - he's just a symbol of the newborn new year. I refer to this baby as "he" because he's often portrayed wearing a top hat. He also often wears a sash and diapers, which is kind of a unisex outfit. So maybe the New Year's Baby is really a girl.
Or maybe in the odd years it's a girl, and the even years it's a boy, like we do with the hurricanes.
Not to be outdone, February awaits with a baby that sports wings and weaponry - straight out of Roman mythology - little Cupid with his bow and arrow!
If you didn't know any better, you might think it was the same baby - lying on its back in December, partying in January, and flying in February!
From lying to flying
In just three months
Would be quite a stunt.
