-
Sparkly confetti in the air,
Balloons popping everywhere.
Noisemakers loud, and cheers so bright,
Wishing you a happy New Year’s night! -
Stars are twinkling, moon shines wide,
Let’s count down numbers, side by side.
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, and five,
Four, three, two, one, let’s all stay alive!
(For a fun twist, change “alive” to “jive!” or “thrive!”) -
Fireworks paint the sky with glee,
Wishing you a year as sweet as candy.
Chocolate dreams and rainbow swirls,
May 2025 unwrap magic unfurls! -
Tiny hands make paper snow,
Winter wishes whisper low.

Apples dipped in caramel shine,
Counting seeds for good luck nine.

Sweetest wishes in the rain.

May 2025 fill your heart with bread!

Snowflakes bloom on tiny lips.
Happy New Year, laugh and sing,
May joy like winter berries cling!

Wishing happiness for me and you! -
Little puppies wag their tails,
Wishing wags on snowy trails.

Sleepy kittens cuddle near,
Purring whispers in your ear.
Sleepy paws and slumber deep,

Pinecone stars and acorn eyes,
Nature’s magic in the skies.

May your New Year bloom with ease! -
Little hands hold sparklers high,
Painting rainbows in the sky.

Stomping snow in joyous storm.

Wishing snowy days filled with light! -
Sleepy eyes and yawns galore,
Counting sheep by the bedroom door.
Counting dreams from one to ten,
Wishing slumber without end! -
Tiny dancers, twirling toes,
Spinning stories as the music flows.

Popcorn snowmen, white and small,
Melted dreams on windowsill’s shawl.
Wishing wishes whispered low,
May snowflakes whisper all they know! -
Rainbow crayons paint the sky,
Sunbeams peek with a playful sigh.
Wishing colors bold and free,
May your New Year be a symphony! -
Muddy mittens, puddles splashed,
Laughter rings as children dash.
Wishing rain that sings and pours,
May your New Year bloom like spring flowers! -
Little chefs in aprons bright,
Stirring batter, day and night.
Wishing cakes that rise so high,
May your New Year reach for the sky! -
Sleepy bears in winter caves,
Counting dreams on snowflake waves.

May your New Year bring honeybees! -
Bumblebees on fuzzy tongues,
Honeycomb wishes, sugarplums sung.
Wishing gardens sweet and bright,
May your New Year be filled with light! -
Tiny boats on paper waves,
Sailing dreams to distant caves.
Wishing journeys far and wide,
May your New Year’s boat safely ride!
