Grammar Greeting Gaffe: Is there more than one new year?

Hope everyone brought in 2010 in a celebratory fashion.  It is always wonderful to receive so many beginning-of-year well wishes, especially because I'm one of those unfortunate people with a birthday that falls when people still haven't finished returning their Christmas gifts.  But please, please stop saying and/or writing the following:

Happy New Years!

Really?  I didn't know that we were welcoming 2010 AND 2011 at once.

Also, a few folks asked me my thoughts on the group text message.  You can go back in the archives to December 2007 for that one.

Holiday pet peeves?  Post away.
