"See the old year out"
Please, considering the list of holidays and celebrations, what's the meaning of:
"The same to you" (by the way is it the same as "Happy New Year" ?). And how about "See the old year out"?
Thanks,
Jolie

As you would "see one out [the door]" as he or she is leaving your house. Rather like "escort".
