A holiday celebrated by some rural communities (not limited to the South) similar to normal New Year's, but instead of being celebrated annually on a specific date, it's celebrated randomly every few years. Communities observing this holiday choose it instead of New Year's as the day that marks the change in the calendar year. This explains why some towns act like it's 1874. Because, well, it's 1874.
