Well you do need to be at least slightly happy to send a Happy New Years message, unless you're sending it in a sortof ironic depressive funk.

- Loughla 8y agoI think it's honestly more of just a meaningless statement (at least in the US). Sort of like when someone greets you with 'how are you?' and everyone just says 'great' or something like that. It's just words to most people, I think.
- ben509 8y agoBut it's words they say because that's how they want to present themselves to total strangers; as a courteous person. In the same way, people could dress like total slobs, but instead take time every morning to look decent.
- Joe-Z 8y agoOkay, so we now defined the meaning of "being happy" to mean "not being so totally depressed to not even put on clothes anymore" :) Quite a low bar to reach, we can do it!
