I want to wish my friends, family and associates a Happy New Year..ish because I’m not exactly sure if Happy New Year truly cuts it. As a practicing man of the Jewish faith my new year actually started several months ago on September 23rd with the holiday of Rosh Hashanah and even if I wasn’t Jewish there are other New Years that start at different dates including the Chinese New Year observed by like a billion people. Yet the truth is I enjoy this “amateur night” where those who haven’t partied all year come out and celebrate and who is going to complain about the extra day off or another reason to party. I also fully understand that January 1st is when the secular calendar begins and that means a new Congress starts, a new film and theatrical season begins and another day for us to change ourselves at least for the day. In conclusion I want to wish everyone (except ISIS members and like) a secular year of health, happiness, wealth and peace. Happy New Year…ish!
