Sylvester = new year?

Hi there my fellow tranceaddicts.

I have a question for you guys.

In Israel, when we celebrate the new civil year (we have a calander based on the Jew tradition) we often refer to it as the sylvester.

Now, Sylvester was some sort of pope who were an Anti-cemist, but that's beside the point.

My question is, do you english-speakers cristians call the night of the new year's "sylvester"?

in Czech Republic we also say Sylvester, dunno why, but it might be some kind of "eastern" term for New year's eve?

I know polish and slovak people use sylvester too.

But we do spell it "Silvester"

Spelling is not the issue here. Could have been my mistake

But the fact remains.

Now It will be nice to have some answers from the other side of the globe.. Canada guys..

Oh, you're at that "I'm 18 and to big for cartoons" stage.

No I stopped watching cartoons, especially looney toons, because it was WWII propoganda.

EDIT: And I don't feel like taking Tegretol before watching these new flashy cartoons either.

You know, the ones with fireballs shooting out of their ass, and playing with cards and such.
