Hello, 2021 (1/2/21) People seem to be extra happy this time to welcome in the new year. And what they seem to like best about 2021 is that it’s not 2020. What it is, exactly, remains to be seen, but Ella thinks it could be the start of something big, Judy thinks it’s a time to get happy, Nina thinks there’s a new world coming, and Oscar says something’s coming (although he doesn’t say what). And all of us at Deluxe World Headquarters wish you and yours a very happy, safe, and prosperous year ahead!
