What not to say
Happy Christmas and a Merry New Year ("Merry New Year" just sounds wrong)
Wishing you a prosperous Christmas and a merry New Year ("Prosperous Christmas" sounds even more wrong)
Sometimes, developers like to complicate things by solving routine tasks programmatically. I chose to write some code to send my new year greetings using Python.
It’s not because it’s easy; it’s because it’s difficult — to some extent. Anyways, coding is a lot of fun!It’s new year time. Although we developers don’t usually bother to maintain friendship (is it a joke or not?), we don’t mind sending our greetings to our friends as long as there is a programmatic way to get this done!
Python has a built-in library called
import smtplibThird, draft the message.
message = MIMEText("I wish you a great 2022.")message["Subject"] = "Happy New Year"
Fourth, send the message.
You use the host and port to create the needed SMTP session. During initialization, Python will automatically establish the SMTP connection by calling the connect method . We then start the TLS for security reasons.
You can simply call the sendmail method to send your message and quit the session.
Part II. Send Text Greetings
There are multiple ways actually you can use Python to send your new year greetings by text messages.
First, install the AWS boto3 module.
Run the code (pip install boto3) in Terminal or a command line tool. The boto3 library is a Python module developed for AWS-related management.
Second, create an SNS client in Python.
import boto3client = boto3.client(
"sns",
aws_access_key_id="", # your aws access key
aws_secret_access_key="", # your aws secrete access key
region_name="us-east-1"topic = client.create_topic(Name="new_year") # create a topic
phone_numbers = ["+1234567890"] for phone_number in phone_numbers:
TopicArn=topic_arn,
Protocol='sms',
Endpoint=phone_number
Fourth, publish a message to the topic.
client.publish(Message="Happy New Year!", TopicArn=topic_arn)Method 3. Send through Twilio
You can also choose to send text messages using the Twilio. Certainly, it requires a Twilio account, which is free to register, similar to an AWS account. Once you create a Twilio account, we’re ready to play the game!
First, install the Twilio module.
Run the command pip install twilio to install the Twilio module, which will give you access to various functionalities provided by Twilio. Text messaging is just one of them.
Second, create a Twilio client in Python
The Cilent method will be used to create a Twilio client by taking your Twilio account SID and AUTH Token, both of which can be found on the dashboard of your Twilio account.
from twilio.rest import Clientclient = Client("", # your Twilio Account SID
"", # your Twilio AUTH token
Third, create and send message.
You create a list of all the phone numbers to which you’ll send your new year greetings. Again, be noted that the phone number is using the E.164 formatting similar to the use of AWS SNS.
One catch is that with free Twilio account, you can only send text messages to you verified phone numbers, giving you less flexibility compared to AWS SNS. However, you can upgrade your Twilio account, which will give you an option of sending to multiple phone numbers of your choice at very low cost (less than 1 cent per message).
phone_numbers = ["+1234567890", "+1234567891"] # the list of phone numbers to receive the messagesfor phone_number in phone_numbers:client.messages.create(
to=phone_number,
from_="", # your Twilio phone number
body="Happy New Year!"
Conclusions
So actually, programming does make certain things easier, doesn’t it?

Funny Messages to Include on a New Year’s Eve Card
Design: Signature Greenvelope
While New Year’s Eve is, without question, the final farewell to another year past, there’s no reason you can’t bring a little humor into the evening. Collectively wave goodbye to another year with friends by adding these funny quotes, puns, and messages about New Year's Eve to your New Year's card:
• For New Year’s Eve, want to just come over and bake stuff? I’ve never baked anything in my life nor do I know if my oven works, but I’d choose you and burnt cupcakes over long lines and $100 covers.
• Sometimes, I look at the lines on New Year’s EveВ and think, “Where are their coats? It’s sub-zero temperatures and they’re standing there in tube tops!” Then I remember how we did that … every single year. #SurvivalOfTheFittest
• Want to stay in and watch movies together on New Year’s Eve? My resolution this past yearВ was to save money, but it wasn’t that successful. I’m looking to save my $100 cover as one final hurrah.
• Sometimes, I look at New Year’s EveВ dresses and think, “Aw, that’s cute — I can’t wait to wear that!” but one second later a voice in my head says, “Nope, it would look better on your BFF.” So … matching dresses this year?
• Our New Year’s EveВ countdownВ is officially on. And as a last-minute attempt to fulfill my resolution from last year, I’m trying to learn from my past mistakes. On that note, rip my credit card from my hand when I hit an $80 tab.
• It's going to be a great year, my friends. At midnight on New Year’s Eve, let’s kiss all of our poor outfit choices goodbye and put on our pajamas.
Funny Happy New Year Messages About Resolutions
Design: Signature Greenvelope
Making a New Year’s resolution is one of the most widespread traditions of this holiday. In your attempt to keep this light-hearted, there’s no need to put pressure on friends or family members to keep their resolutions. Instead, let them know that you love and appreciate them just the way they are with these humorous New Year's quotes:
• This year, my New Year’s resolutionВ is to accomplish the New Year’s resolutionsВ I set last year, which have been following me around since 2022.
• My New Year’s resolutionВ is self-acceptance. And therefore, I accept myself just the way I am — with absolutely zero need to incorporate a lifestyle change.
• On the last day of the year, I want you to know how much I appreciate you believing in me and never once doubting me. In looking at the resolutions I set last year, you really, reallyВ should have doubted me.
• You know, I love you but I question your judgment when you don’t second guess the New Year’s resolutionsВ I set. I’m batting 0 for the past five years, so your faith in me doesn’t go unnoticed.
• My New Year’s resolutionВ is to spend more time with friends. So should we go get our new gym memberships then collectively not use them together?
• I decided my New Year’s resolutionВ is to be more supportive of my friends. Therefore, I support you in every new habit you want to make, and I’ll support you when you inevitably fall back into the same person I love so much. See? I’m already doing it.
• We could try this whole thing where we say, “Our New Year’s resolutionВ is to not set resolutions,” but we tried that last year, so maybe we should get some new material. On that note, I’m thinking improv.
• My New Year’s resolutionВ is to eat more green things, and I already know I’m going to need some food coloring.
• There’s no New Year’s resolutionВ that could possibly make me love you anymore. Unless your resolution is to pay for our surcharged Uber home.
• I just want you to know that I’m here for all the positive lifestyle changes you want to make. So in supporting your Marie Kondo resolutions, know that you are welcome to practice on my apartment.

Christmas is a time to send festive greetings to all the important people in your life – and that, of course, includes your boss. Call us jaded, but it seems more than a little obvious that you want to stay in the good graces of someone who writes your performance reviews and approves your vacation.
What might not seem obvious is what you should say in a holiday message to your boss. If you have a close personal friendship with her or him, you could go for one of the usual Christmas greetings. But for a more typical boss/employee relationship, a different sort of message is in order.
For ideas, check out the following list of Christmas wishes for the boss. These yuletide greetings go great in a Christmas card, text message, or whatever medium you want to use to send your boss some holiday cheer.
• Merry Christmas to a boss who keeps the office humming along like Santa's Workshop!
• Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to a great boss! Working for you has been a joy, and I look forward to all the opportunities and experiences the new year has to offer.
