It will be a OX year in Japan, according to Chinese Zodiac, so I'm attatching a greeting image here.

A happy new year for you Yoriko and your family, as well as all people all around the earth.
Unfortunately, on in Japanese I cannot say it, however, I wish you the same one also in German, in Hungarian and in Roumanian:
Glückliches neues Jahr 2009 allen auf der ganzen Welt!
Békés, boldog új évet mindenkinek a világon!
Un an nou fericit tuturor in lume! La Multi Ani!

New Year is the most important celebration in Japan, but we have some Christians there as well. Thank you so much, Asterix, Happy New Year!

Do you go out and return indoors with a lump of coal and a glass of whiskey? My one-time Scottish neighbour used to do that. And bake loads of shortbread.

200127Happy New Year to you too. If we pay attention, you'll have us speaking Japanese before we know it. If only I could figure out how to say it:)

I'm going to send this to my daughter, this is her year. Double trouble since she's also a Taurus, I always knew she was bull-headed for a reason. LOL
