🕰️ Origin & History of “Happy New Year” Puns
Long before hashtags and champagne, people have celebrated the New Year with laughter. But where did the phrase and humor begin?
In ancient times, celebrations marked renewal — from Babylonian Akitu to Roman Janus, the god with two faces (one for the past, one for the future). Words became wishes, and jokes soon followed as symbols of hope and joy.
By the Victorian era, people exchanged cards and witty wordplay became trendy.
“A punny year to you!” wasn’t just polite; it was fashionable! Greeting cards turned humor into tradition, and the New Year pun became a timeless delight.
Fast-forward to today, and social media has turned those old-timey greetings into viral fun.
A tweet, a meme, or a caption — the New Year pun is now a universal language of laughter that transcends time zones and toasts. 🥳
