"happy" is made by placing one or both of your hands in front of you. Use "flat" hands, palms pointing back. Circle your hands forward, down, back, up, forward, down, back, up. Both hands move at the same time and in the same direction.

In American Sign Language (ASL), you can sign "new year" by signing "NEW" and then "YEAR" using the ASL signs for these words.
American Sign Language wasn't created in a certain year. It is a natural language that evolved over many centuries. It was enhanced in 1817 with the opening of the American School for the Deaf, founded by Thomas Gallaudet. Gallaudet introduced many aspects of French Sign Language to modernize and expand ASL.
The standardization of American Sign Language (ASL) began in the 1960s and 1970s, led by linguists and members of the Deaf community. It involved documenting and defining the grammar and vocabulary of ASL to establish it as a recognized language.
American Sign Language was important in 1817 because that year marked the establishment of the first permanent school for the deaf in the United States, the American School for the Deaf in Hartford, Connecticut. This was a significant milestone in the history of deaf education and helped promote the use of sign language as a means of communication for the deaf community.
There are many different types of Sign Languages around the world. Some are considered official by an individual country's standards, others are not. American Sign Language or Ameslan, the broadest form of Sign Languages in the United States, was not entirely considered an official language until after 1960, (even though there were many deaf schools prior to that date) when a Gallaudet College Professor and Chairman of the English Department, William Stokoe published a monograph entitled "Sign Language Structure" that paved the way for the legitimization of ASL as a language. He also co-authored the "Dictionary of American Sign Language" in 1965.

Sign language has been used for centuries by deaf individuals around the world, but there is no specific "invention" date. Modern sign languages have evolved over time and vary by country and region. Each sign language has its own unique grammar and vocabulary.
