Maybe we realise that, at this time, we need, like good waffles, to stick together and face the future shoulder to shoulder so we can be assured of happiness, and that anything might be better than Ben Johnson's rueful:
"What a deal of cold business doth a man misspend the better part of life in! In scattering compliments, tendering visits, gathering and venting news, following feast and plays, making a little winter-love in a dark corner."
I don't know about you, but I wish for so much more.

Is it possible that we wish each other Happy New Year at this time because, at this seemingly arbitrary time in our journey around the sun, which we mark as a new beginning, we are afraid of the future? That our future happiness it is so uncertain that we think if it we say it enough, it really will be a happy 2009? Or are so many of us just too drunk to know what we're saying?
It's hearty good wishes, old beast! Sincerely to wish good for others, is an agent which acts on our own souls.
And thus, to you & your'n, a happy, healthy, musical, literary & Thespian 2009!

Ah, but then there are wishes from special people, like yourself, that make me realise how genuine those cheering thoughts can be. Thanks for reminding me of that, Karl :-)
A wonderful 2009 filled with beauty and love to all of you!
