Those are so beautiful! I love that no matter how different all our countries are, we have something in common when it comes to the New Year.
I hope your holidays were fun!
It makes sense that the Dutch and German greetings are very similar. The photos you included are astounding!
What amazing pictures, thanks so much for sharing!
Happy TT

A little correction for the Dutch: “Gelukkig Nieuwjaar!” Happy New Year to you too!
In my TT I’m looking back at my 2007 New Year’s resoutions…
Those are wonderful photos! And in good old English, Happy New Year to you!
It’s great that you were able to marry the photos with the greetings! (Thanks for visiting my TT)
What a fun list! Happy New Year to you!
Happy New Year, Ellen! It’s been fun getting to know you this past year. I hope we continue this trend in 2008.
As for me, as you read at my blog, my new year’s going to have a lot fewer fireworks — but a lot of hot water! (and layers; it’s supposed to be -3 or something on New Year’s Eve! Aack!)
Happy TT, too. Thanks for coming by every week; it’s much appreciated.
What a wonderful way to share and make us think!!! Hope you had a great Christmas and a blessed holiday! Happy TT! Thanks for stopping by!

What great pics…it sure would be nice to be in all those places at one time:) Happy TT and thanks for stopping by.
An amazing amount of work that you put into this TT, and very interesting and informative too. An instant classic, I daresay.
How wonderful! Can you pronounce all of those? I tried but got lost on the Greek one. Oh, I do love Paris – that’s my favorite photo – but it’s not too surprising!
Happy TT!

What a nice way to celebrate the New Year, in 13 languages. Pictures are great also.

I wish I could do photos on The Pink Flamingo the way you do, but working with a Mac and blogging is very difficult. I love the header photo for the blog.
Thanks for stopping by and I apologize for being so late in replying.

Sorry I’m late in stopping by this week! These are great–I love New Year’s here in Germany with all the fireworks. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that it won’t rain this year!
Very cool. I like learning phrases in different languages.
