I was just wondering, when is the last day you can wish someone Happy New Year?
I asked this question to a few people, seems like there is a running theme.
Most people agree that January 31st is the cut off. I'm going to try wishing someone Happy New Year around May 1st. See what the response will be.
One person has two rules. One for personal friends and another for business associates.
Personal friends - Up until Martin Luther King day. If you haven't communicated with a loved one by then, you really need to do better.
Business associates - Up until January 31st. You really don't care about their New Year anyway. It's just something to fill space before you start your meeting or make a sales pitch.
I wonder what the rule would be for strangers. Or even for people whom you don't like.
I guess in the end, spreading cheer never has an expiration date! Well it's still January,
Happy New Year!
