NO ! It's too early ! You all deserve to be sent back to the UK unless you follow a French etiquette course 
. According to the old tradition here, we do not wish Happy New Year before December 31 at midnight: that would be impolite, even rude, not to say offending. But, you can do it throughout the month of January (if you send a paper card, do not mail it after the 15th because the Post Office is overwhelmed). Afterwards, it would be also rude or contemptuous, not to mention offensive.
But I can still wish you to end the year well with lots of good things to eat and drink.
I will return to the air soon to wish you everything you wish for me for 2024

NO! Please, not that! I don't deserve it anyway, not being British.
People around here must be very rude as I've been given NY wishes several times.

Definitely not for me either !!!
Many people here have also given NY wishes - perhaps if you're not going to see people for a while they take an earlier opportunity. With the cost of sending cards these days, they'll soon be a thing of the past.
