Hello everyone.

I understand "I wish you a Happy New Year" is a greeting that you use before New Year�s Day comes.

Is �Happy New Year!,� on the other hand, a greeting that you can use even after New Year�s Day, say one or two weeks into a new year, when you see someone you know for the first time in the year?

Best wishes,
fw
