The end of the year has come, everyone! This is a time like no other — we post our resolutions on social media, invade supermarkets for alcohol and decorations, and try to fully process what a rollercoaster the last three years have been. But with the new year comes a new beginning and a party to attend! Are you ready to ring in the new year? We are! And we’re going to do it with style.
We’re sure you’ve already started sending out your customary “Happy New Year” wishes to clients, workmates, family, and acquaintances. But don’t you think it’s time to get a little more creative and up your game? When you wish someone a happy New Year, it can be hard to think of something different from the usual “Have a great year!” or “Have a fantastic 2023!” But if you’re planning to meet other people at the New Year party, or in case you have festive cards to write, keeping some witty and bold New Year greetings under your belt can be an awesome idea.
That’s what we worked on today. This is a list of alternatives to your usual New Year wishes so you can make sure your message gets across without making you sound like a random, boring human being. Whether you’re looking to show off your silly side or want to send something special to a person who has been there for you through thick and thin — you’ll find it here!

We don't make 365 trips around the sun each year. The earth makes one trip around the sun in one year's time. The rising and setting of the sun each day is due to the earth completing one full rotation. It does this 365 times per year as it moves around the sun. :-)
