Funny Captions For Your New Year

The year may have been a very long drag, but you can show that it didn’t drag your sense of humor down with it with a laugh-worry caption.

I’ve decided not to selfishly waste any resolutions on me this year, which means you’ll need to lose 20 pounds, save 20k, and always remember hindsight is 20/20.
I can’t even explain what you see, but it sure will be fun watching all the guessing and assumptions. Hashtag away!
New Years happens, and then you go back to work/school counting down the 360+ days until it happens again.

If you really want to remember your ‘do better in 2023’ assertions, then just post it on social media. Haters never mind swerving to remind you.

Why is everyone posting New Year’s headshots? Thanks to the COVID shutdown snacking, it’s not just the new year and its goals that’ve grown bigger.
Thank you Dec 31, 2020 for finally giving us an excuse for something to glitter and sparkle this year.

This is the first year I truly have needed the excuse of a New Year’s Eve party to wear something other than my PJs.
My parting words to 2020: “I sure hope you can’t have offspring.”
Rent measured a year in a life in minutes. This year, we counting masks, not minutes, and I’m winning!

This past year has been about staying on your toes. Let’s shake the year 2023 up with some handstands!
My favorite part of NYE? Paying an insane amount of money for something that will never be appropriate for any other occasion.
Can’t blame an entire year for its bad days and months… 2020 excluded, of course.

May the only con of the new year arriving be the confetti!
Dang, when January’s credit card bill comes with these NYE shoes on it, I’ll have already gone bust on my resolution to budget better. Oh, well, there’s always 2023.

I would quit one of my very bad habits as my NY resolution, but my mama didn’t raise a quitter.

Mama said there would be days like this, but she never said they’d go on and on for an entire year. Goodbye and good riddance to 2020.
Not the NYE masked ball I’d dreamed about, but, hey, at least there were masks.

Use one of these texts to perfectly sum up your social media photo.

The future is created, not predicted. Here’s to us all creating priceless masterpieces for 2023.
Just hanging around writing the first of the 365 pages this year holds. So far, so good!

Don’t let your brand new start be a replay of the same old song and dance.
No better view and company than the one before me and beside me.
New Year is a reminder that we can’t go back for a different start, but we can go forth for a different ending.

May old acquaintances be dearer, new acquaintances be fuller, and unneeded acquaintances look clearer in the mirror.

Be content in this very moment because looking too far back in 2020 leaves you to walk into brick walls, and looking too far forward in 2023 leaves you to trip over your own feet.

After the dumb year we’ve had, you didn’t really expect it to close with a clever caption?

Every new beginning has to start somewhere, and I’m so glad mine starts here, now, and with you.
May this emerging year find you all healthier, wiser, and richer than the previous year.
Don’t ask what the new year will bring to you. Instead, know what you will bring to it.

I wish 2020 really was a book. I sure would’ve loved to have skipped the drama and gone straight to this lovely final page.
If only the entire year could carry the same hope, love, peacefulness, and resolve we feel as the old year ends.
Don’t wish good things for yourself and others… be that good thing for yourself and others. Happy New Year’s Day to all the good things in my life!
