Every year, the same music comes back.
When writing your New Year's greetings, we all ask ourselves the question.
How to write a personalized happy new year note?
What to write between
"beautiful year"
or
"good year"
?

But how do you stand out when everyone is saying the same thing at the same time?

"Beautiful year"
This is the new trend.
This expression has enjoyed undisputed success in recent years.
She dethroned the classic
“Happy New Year”
.
What harm is there in hoping for a good year for your loved ones or colleagues?
This expression is intended to be more
“optimistic”
.
““Beautiful year” is exactly the same thing as “beautiful day””
, as Linda Giguère explained in Linda
's mood
, on TV5 Monde.
According to the journalist,
“we are faced with a phenomenon of emphasis, of linguistic exaggeration”
.
“Beautiful year”
like
““beautiful day” gives the other the feeling that our words have been carefully chosen for him”.
Going back to the definition of the adjective
"beautiful"
,
"which arouses an aesthetic pleasure of a visual or auditory order"
, it is strange to associate it thus with the word
"year"
... While
"good"
is defined as such
"which is suitable, has a value »
.
“I wish you my best wishes”
This is a sort of pleonasm.
Indeed, as the French Academy reminds us,
"one does not wish one's wishes to such and such"
, the word
"wish"
being a synonym of
"wish"
, in particular of wish that one forms for others.
"It is therefore advisable not to use 'wish' as a complement to the verb 'wish'"
, recall the Sages.
We will therefore say
“I send you my best wishes”
,
“I offer you my best wishes”
or even
“I wish you the best, a lot of happiness and success for this new year”
.
“Happy New Year, and health above all!”
The wording gets awkward quickly.
Especially when you present your wishes to your supervisor or colleagues.
We quickly risk falling into awkwardness.
Like the touch of humor deemed too slippery, it is better to proscribe anything that touches the realm of intimacy.
Rather than repeating a generic seen and reviewed, it is better to choose adjectives and words that correspond to the person to whom we are speaking.
What is his job?
We can slip in an allusion to an event that happened recently in her life, a sign that we are interested in her.

“May this new year be overflowing with money!”
Like health, mention money and it's a guaranteed misstep.
Rather than falling into this pitfall, we can wish “prosperity” for this new year.
In particular to a person who is setting up his own business, for example.
Why not wish a "year overflowing with love"?
In this regard, we are rarely too generous.
On this, the editorial staff wishes you a happy new year 2023 and wishes you all the best for this new year which we hope will be joyful!
