Lately I have been catching myself making greetings like, 'Have a Merry Christmas!' and then remembering that I live in one of the most diverse cities in the World - with a rich woven myriad of creeds. I have come to the understanding that a lovely, and universal greeting to recall is the New Year. Although the calenders of some cultures vary in its time, all people understand and celebrate renewal each year. Here is Happy New Year greetings in a few languages from around the world.
