Happy New Year!

Happy January 1, 2011 AD.

Of course it's also:

December 19, 2010 in the Julian Calendar;

25 Tevet AM 5771 in the Jewish Calendar;

26 Muharram, 1432 AH in the Muslim Calendar;

11 Dey 1389 in the Persian Calendar;

11 Befranbar 1389 in the Kurdish Calendar;

11 Jaddi 1389 in the Afghan Calendar;

23 Koiak (Kiahk) Year of the Martyrs 1727 in the Coptic Calendar;

2 Sharaf 167 BE in the Baha'i Calendar;

and since I'm still on holiday that's where I'll stop. Those I've left out are welcome to post to the comments.

And a Happy New Year to you all anyway. Kull al-‘am wa antum bi'l khayr, Shona Tova, and all the rest.
