If you are wondering what we call the new year, wonder no more. We shall call new year twenty ten, not two-thousand-ten. That’s the official words coming down from whoever decides such things. I have to admit, it is easier and less of a mouthful. So sounds good to me. Regardless of what you call it Happy New Year!!!!
Happy New Year!
2010 is not just the beginning of a New Year, it’s the beginning of a New Decade. Just think about all that’s happened in the past decade. This time ten years ago the biggest worry we had, or knew we had, was whether or not all our computers were going to crash as the clock turned to midnight and the new year of Y2K began. The computers didn’t crash, the world didn’t end and all was well. At least, as far as we knew. Of course, the Global War on Terrorism had been going on for a while. They were at war with us, but we didn’t know it yet. We were still innocent of the dangerous intentions of our enemies. Unfortunately, that innocence to the dangers of islamic fundamentalism was shattered on September 11, 2001. From that point on, the first decade of the new millennium was consumed with fighting terrorism throughout the world. Sometimes more intensely. Sometimes we put it on the back burner, went to the mall while our Soldiers fought alone on the other side of the world.
Yeah, a lot has happened in the first decade of the third millennium since the birth of Christ.
So now we are putting the 2000s behind us and looking forward to the 2010s. Now we know to call the New Year twenty-ten! That’s good to know. Regardless of what you decide to call this new decade, we wish you a Happy New Year!
