Note that, in Scotland, it is considered very bad luck to wish anyone a "Happy New Year" before the new year has arrived. Same with hanging up the new calendar. Worldwide variation in time zones does make this a problem.

Useful to know, Alan. I guess what I should do is retract this for everyone who is still in 2021, except for those for whom it is considered customary.
Sometimes, ya' can't win for losin'!

... and you want the first visitor at your door to be dark haired (no doubt, a memory of the Viking invasions)
Anyway, I'm a blondie and therefore was never welcome on New Years.
Those ancient U Nialls from Donegal were a randy bunch.
