I had worried for several days about whether I could avoid the political incorrectness of wishing my Jewish friends Happy Christmas by sending Season's Greetings, and having passed that, am now on to the multiple New Year dilemma, so I am glad that a friend who occupies the moral high ground when it comes to Jewish observance, has made the first move and solved my problem by emailing me Happy New Year. I can now reciprocate.
In Singapore life is much easier; political correctness is the opposite. Every shopping mall, restaurant and citizen is expected to celebrate all nine officially recognized religions.
After New Year, Chinese New Year provides more opportunities for exchanging oranges, red packets of money, sending cards, ordering festive dinners and buying bargains in the shops.
The Jewish New Year is in the autumn (which Americans call Fall).
