As Persian as CHELO KABAB KOOBIDEH.

The original Persian holiday even if others have tried to appropriate it.

I lived in Iran when a kid, long ago during the Pahlavi regime. Nowruz, I remember, is a wonderful holiday, like Christmas but without so much excess.

Happy New Year, happy New Year, to Persians everywhere!

I don't know if he's referring to it being celebrated in Afghanistan, Pakistan and India. But all 3 places have a strong Persian influence anyways.
