Here’s a poem called ‘My Unbearable Politeness of Being’.

My Unbearable Politeness of Being

It's the same dilemma
every year, I find,
upon meeting a person
for the first time,

for how long
does wishing them
a Happy New Year
remain de rigueur?

Perhaps I blow things
out of proportion
but I tend to err
on the side of caution

so I've always
Happy New Year-ed
until October the Third.

Wishes for "a better future", without to specify a date, are fine all year long…
