A happy New Year! Grant that I
May bring no tear to any eye
When this New Year in time shall end
Let it be said I've played the friend,
Have lived and loved and labored here,
And made of it a happy year.
- Edgar A. Guest
Glory to God in highest heaven,
Who unto man His Son hath given;
While angels sing with tender mirth,
A glad new year to all the earth
- Martin Luther King
Funny New Year Wishes
May your hair, your teeth, your face-lift, your abs and your stocks not fall; and may your blood pressure,
your triglycerides, your cholesterol, your white blood count and your mortgage interest not rise.
May you get a clean bill of health from your dentist, your cardiologist, your gastro-enterologist, your
urologist, your proctologist, your podiatrist, your psychiatrist and your plumber.
May what you see in the mirror delight you, and what others see in you delight them. May someone love you
enough to forgive your faults, be blind to your blemishes, and tell the world about your virtues.
May New Year's Eve find you seated around the table, together with your beloved family and cherished friends.
May you find the food better, the environment quieter, the cost much cheaper, and the pleasure much more fulfilling
than anything else you might ordinarily do that night.
May the telemarketers wait to make their sales calls until you finish dinner, may the commercials on TV not be louder
than the program you have been watching, and may your check book and your budget balance - and include generous amounts
for charity.
May you remember to say "I love you" at least once a day to your spouse, your child, your parent, your siblings; but not
to your secretary, your nurse, your masseuse, your hairdresser or your tennis instructor.
