Is that the hangover talking or what? Ken, you van use a greeting we use from the Philippines. 

May you have a Prosperous New Year!

As for Christmas, you can use mine. Happy BenT's Day. I happened to enter this world in that day.

Problem solve. Except for those who are suffering from a holiday hangover. And I'm not just talking about one derive from drinking too much holiday 'spirit'.

;-)

Cheers,

BenT
