The hope for the year ahead is heard once again in the old and comfortable greeting called out to friends and strangers alike: “We wish you a Happy New Year.” There are no better words for the beginning of a new year, always with the accompanying sentiments of peace and joy and prosperity for all.
From all of us at the Vineyard Gazette we extend to everyone on the Island and across the nation best wishes for a happy, prosperous and peaceful new year 2025.
