Happy New Year?

[Poll #1118235]

ETA: Whoops. Yes, I have shamefully made the unwarranted assumption that people wishing each other ‘Happy New Year’ are doing so in response to the turning of the Gregorian calendar. If you're not, either don't answer the poll, or do something sensible and appropriate such as translating the year so that 1 January is your own new year day. Sorry about that. And yes, I also shamefully missed out the option for people who never wish each other ‘Happy New Year’ at all. Sorry about that too.

Count me amongst the "never" camp. Although out of simple politeness I'll typically respond in kind if someone says it to me.

Yeah, I'm "never except perhaps as reciprocal politeness".
