Let’s share lots of laughter together this year, too!
It’s important to share joy with others; by layering positive feelings, the excitement only grows.
This message conveys the wish to share that happiness and spend time together with smiles.
It also carries the lesson that smiles are essential for living each day positively, as well as the desire to support one another.
These are words that call on us to keep sharing fun memories over the coming year, and that evoke a sense of connection between people.
Let’s dash through this year with energy!
It’s a phrase that really captures a lively, childlike energy.
The word “dash,” inspired by the zodiac horse, conveys a sense of dynamism and strength, making it perfect for a New Year’s resolution.
It’s also striking that it invites the listener with “let’s dash,” as if saying, “let’s move forward together.” Add this phrase alongside a horse illustration, and you’re sure to have a stylish New Year’s card! Writing it in brush calligraphy could help express a sense of speed, too.
Let’s make lots of happy memories this year, too.
When you look back on your memories and a fun moment comes to mind, the feelings from that time return and you can feel happy, right? This is a positive message about continuing to create enjoyable memories this year as well—memories that will make you feel happy whenever you recall them.
It calls on us to spend the year savoring the fun and to turn those experiences into lasting memories.
It also emphasizes leaving behind many memories, conveying a sense of supporting one another along the way.
Let’s run and run and run like crazy this year, too!
Perfect for New Year’s cards to friends who love sports or are always working hard! It conveys the message: “Let’s keep giving our all, like a horse that dashes forward with energy.” For friends who play sports that involve running, it directly says, “Keep running lots and doing your best!” For friends who are dedicated to something, it encourages them to “keep charging ahead without getting discouraged.” Send your warm words of support!
This year, we’re going full speed ahead like a horse!
A short phrase that overlays a forward-looking, powerful message—“Let’s charge full speed ahead this year!”—with the image of a horse.
The words “full throttle” convey the determination to give it our all, filling this message with the positivity and energy perfect for the New Year.
It’s a line uniquely suited to a Year of the Horse New Year’s card, and simply adding “like a horse” gives it a witty, thoughtful flair.
It’s the kind of phrase that can boost not only the recipient’s spirits but your own motivation as well.
Let’s take on the challenge with the momentum of a horse again this year!
This message encourages us to tackle everything with the vigor of a horse.
Some children may feel anxious because they can’t see what lies ahead, or give up thinking, “What’s the point?” and find it hard to take on new or difficult challenges.
But these words convey the idea: in the new year, let’s try our best to take on challenges without losing to the horse’s momentum.
Use this phrase to cheer on friends who struggle to take that first step—and to say, “I’ll work hard too, so let’s do our best together!”
Let’s run with energy and play a lot!
Speaking of horses, they’re the kind of animal that instantly conjures up the image of a mane streaming as they run.
So how about a message that plays on that idea of “running”? There’s even a saying that children are like the wind, which makes the image a perfect match.
And when we think of the New Year, it’s January—still a chilly time—but imagining kids running around and playing can lift the spirits and make you want to head outside.
Add this little line to your New Year’s card and invite your friends to play outdoors.
There are plenty of fun New Year’s games like kite flying and hanetsuki!
