I was wondering this morning how long you have to say “Happy New Year” to people until it’s just, well, silly. Personally, I think one should have the entire month of January to say it because even if you’re the most organized person on the planet, and you sent out your year-end/new year’s greetings to everyone on your list, there’s always a chance you‘ve missed or simply forgotten someone. And then what? You run into that someone and you don’t say Happy New Year?
I have not forgotten you, my dear mischies. Oh, no. But I have missed you.
Happy. New. Year.
This year is the Year of the Tiger, which means, of course, I’m designing a Tiger cookie. The Chinese Lunar Calendar is part of what inspired me to start my cookie designing mania, and so far, I’ve designed a Sheep, a few Dogs, a Rat, a Rooster, and…what else? Oh, yes, a Monkey and an Ox. To view those beauties, either view my portfolio, or, browse my Flickr set.
This past year was an exciting one with the birth of our daughter Mimi, in October. I think this year can only be an improvement on that. So, happy new year! my friends, and I hope that 2010 brings you great happiness and excellent health. Cheers.

the entire month of January seems entirely appropriate (to me) for New Years greetings, most definitely.
& thank you for reminding me about the Chinese New Year because I am a Tiger! So does this mean it is “my” year?
I will have to go read up on this now!
PS
Can’t wait to see the tiger cookie you come up with.
Happy New Year!
