    Can people just say “Happy New Year” and move on? Why the need to specify? It’s not like people don’t know the date, and it’s not like “Happy Holidays” isn’t an equally ambiguous statement.

      Most people just say Happy New Year but because we celebrate both new years, depending on the contexts you want to specify which one you’e referring to.

        I mean… Do people not have calendars?

        “Happy Holidays” also loses the contextual cue of which holiday is being celebrated, and that’s fine, so why not here?
