Is it politically correct to use the term New Years? Or would "Happy Next Calendar Segment" the proper fraise? Certainly don't want to offend anyone's believes

Yeah! God forbid we offend anyone's beliefs, or culture or mother country, or choice of foods, or their warped ideas of right and wrong. If we come across someone performing genital mutilation on their daughter, or stoning their daughter or wife, don't try to help the hapless victim or inform the authorities. After all, it is their belief or cultural tradition and we must respect their right to do these things. Per
You don't want to offend anyone who goes by the Julian, Hebrew, or Chinese calendars. You need to say "Happy Gregorian Calendar New Year". LOL
I personally am offended by that...My ancestors were Gregorian and I don't want them depicted as nothing but "keepers of time" Please choose somebody else to pick on..
Hard to know, Joyous next fiscal accounting period maybe?
Consider that those people don't ASSUME that you either start your year on July 1, or are unspeakably evil.
Yeah, they wrote some nice chants too.
Yes I do. Happy Eristide.
Easy chords to learn too.
Those who's fiscal new year is October 1 are the unspeakably evil ones. ;-)
