The merry year is born like the bright berry from the naked thorn.

Happy New Year. I've really got nothing to say.

I wish you a happy New Year, ... I wish you happiness, all the very best. I want you to know that Russia highly appreciates what you are doing.

Many are born many are gone

The woodcut New Year pictures are usually put up on windows or walls five days before the New Year's Day to express good wishes for the coming year.

And now let us believe in a long year that is given to us, new, untouched, full of things that have never been, full of work that has never been done, full of tasks, claims, and demands; and let us see that we learn to take it without letting fall too much of what it has to bestow upon those who demand of it necessary, serious, and great things.
