Happy New Year 2009!

[Penthesilea]

Happy New Year
to all BetterMostians!
2009
is 365 chances
to seize the day.
Sounds good,
doesn't it?

 

I wish you all prosperity
and much love
in your life.

[Berit]

Happy New Year!

New Year Greetings from around the world. The first word in each row is the name of the language, the rest is the greeting.
I tried to pronounce some of them. Probably totally incompetent, but it's fun .

Happy New Year!

Thank you, Chrissi!  All the best in the New Year to you and your family and all Bettermostians and their loved ones 

The list is a lot of fun - thanks for the Lakota greeting, David!

And what could be better than dancing sheep?
