As I was saying yesterday, I find the New Year “holiday” to be horrifically arbitrary.  But what I forgot to mention was how strange I find the admonition “Happy New Year.”  Since the holiday isn’t really about anything, people are just requesting that I be “happy on and around this particular date, which happens to be the first of the year.”

Who are you to decide when I should be happy?  And why pick that date?

Person1:  “Well it was nice talking to you again.  Have a good next Thursday.”

Person2:  “Yeah, you too.  Have a nice 3 days ago.”

I hope you jerks think better of it the next time you want to wish me happiness.
