A year to dash through with laughter!
Let’s make the new year one filled with endless laughter! These words convey that feeling.
The phrase “dash through” overlaps with the image of a horse running swiftly and gallantly.
Even when we live each day with all our might, it’s far better to spend it with a smile than with a pained expression, isn’t it? Whether you’re studying hard, immersing yourself in lessons, or of course playing with friends, try using these words with the resolve to keep smiling—words that encourage not only your friends but yourself as well.
Wishing for a year that ends with a smile.
Just as a lot happened over the past year, the new year will surely bring joys, sorrows, and challenges.
This message acknowledges that context while wishing that, in the end, we can close the year with a smile.
May everything go well—that’s the sentiment it seems to carry.
Why not add these words to a New Year’s card for someone dear and wish for happiness in the days ahead? Your kindness will come through and is sure to bring a smile.
Wishing you a peaceful year filled with smiles.
Exciting, heart-pounding days full of ups and downs can be fun, but some people may prefer to spend calm, uneventful days.
How about adding this short message to your New Year’s card? The word “smile” in this message evokes an image of someone gently smiling in a comfortable, reassuring moment.
With a wish that your loved one will enjoy peaceful, happy times, consider including this message with your New Year’s greeting.
May this year be filled with lots of blooming smiles.
A smile is something that fills you and those around you with happiness, and its brightness is often compared to a flower.
This message carries a warm tone, calling on you to let those flowers of smiles bloom fully in the coming year.
The phrase “a lot” is a key point—not just blooming, but in abundance—evoking the image of a beautiful flower field.
It gives the impression of a colorful expression of the wish for you to spend each day with a positive outlook.
With a horse-like speed in both play and study!
When we think of horses, we picture them running at incredible speed.
This phrase conveys the idea of tackling both play and study at that same fast pace.
But horses also sometimes walk slowly, don’t they? Moving quickly is great, but it can also be good to take things at a slower pace now and then.
Depending on the situation, why not include this phrase with the intention of working hard like a horse—sometimes speeding up, sometimes slowing down as needed?

Clear your homework at top speed with horse power!
When we think of horses, we get an image of them dashing swiftly, don’t we? Inspired by that light and speedy image, here’s a message that cleverly conveys the idea of “let’s finish our winter break homework quickly.” Homework assigned over a long vacation can feel gloomy if it’s left undone.
So send a message to your friends encouraging them to finish as soon as possible! Receiving this message will, of course, motivate them—and since you’re the one sending it, you’ll feel, “If I’m sending this, I’ve got to finish quickly too!” and get fired up yourself.
Wishing you a year full of fun powered by horses.
A cheerful, lively message that’s perfect for the Year of the Horse! If you write something like “With horse power, let’s make it a fun year,” you can capture a New Year’s theme while conveying lots of energy.
Adding a brief note about fun, horse-like moments—such as “running around energetically on last year’s field trip” or “the time we sprinted and laughed our hearts out at the sports day”—will help express your feelings even more.
It’s a bright, positive message filled with the wish for a year brimming with energy and smiles, just like a spirited horse.
