May you find lots of fun things.
It’s a simple message that wishes for happy times, yet it clearly shows you care about the other person.
If someone is spending the New Year feeling down and they read these words on a New Year’s card, the kindness will surely warm their heart.
Of course, it also conveys the hope that those who are enjoying themselves will have even more wonderful days ahead.
Life has its unpleasant moments and its fun ones, but having lots of enjoyable times really does give us energy, doesn’t it!
Wishing you a year full of smiles.
A year filled with smiles… in other words, it’s a message wishing for that person’s happiness throughout the entire year.
The onomatopoeic expression nikoniko is cute and evokes a child’s sun-like smile.
It’s a smile that appears precisely because you’re truly happy.
Days when you can wear that smile all year round would be truly wonderful.
If you love that person’s smile and want them to keep smiling forever, why not send them this short message? Your feelings will surely come across.
Let’s make it another year we can laugh together!
Here are some cheerful, uplifting New Year’s card messages to share.
For example, “I had so much fun when we took photos together on the field trip and burst out laughing,” or “We laughed so hard at silly stuff during break time that our stomachs hurt.” Adding a small shared memory helps your feelings come across even more.
The reader will likely think, “I want to find fun things together this year, too.” Write with a wish that both of your years will be full of smiles, and make the new year a series of smile-filled days!
I’d be really happy if we could become even closer!
How about a cute message that says, “We’re already close now, but I hope we get even closer next year”? If someone saw that on a New Year’s card, it would surely make them happy.
Being close only works when both people care for, cherish, and respect each other.
Let your New Year’s card carry your feelings so you can keep that relationship going.
It’s a perfect message not only for close friends but also for someone you’d like to grow closer to in the future.
Even if slowly, step forward one step at a time!
These are gentle, encouraging words that softly cheer on the reader.
For example: “I thought it was amazing how you gradually got faster during the sports day practice,” or “You were great for not giving up and working hard even on the difficult parts in arts and crafts.” Writing about a friend’s efforts together with shared memories turns it into a message that truly resonates.
It naturally conveys the feeling that there’s no need to rush—if you take it one step at a time, you’ll get there—so it will reach the reader as words that help them feel more positive.
