Let us be the first to tell you that sending Happy New Year Cards is nothing to scoff at. And because it’s a relatively new tradition with no ulterior motives and no rules we’re more than happy to make them up. Feel free to send your Happy New Year Cards to properly ring in the new year, because you missed the Christmas deadline or anytime until 2009. Ipso facto, you’ve got one entire year to convey your simple wish of happiness to friends, family and co-workers to come in under the "Auld Lang Syne" wire.
