Christmas and New Year’s Eve/Day (often shortened to "New Year’s") are times when family and friends get together. It is a time of miracles and fulfilling of wishes. For many people, these are very important events in their lives because there is a spark of hope in the soul that the new year will bring big changes, things will improve, long-held wishes will be fulfilled, etc.
So I thought it would be a good idea to suggest a few ways that you can wish someone well in English during the Christmas and New Year’s holidays.
As most people know, most Christians in Britain and the United States celebrate Christmas on December 25, and it is a more important holiday to them than New Year’s Eve/Day. In other countries, for example, Ukraine and Russia, New Year’s is more important than Christmas.
Here are a few ways to wish someone well for Christmas:
• May your life be filled with joy and happiness and may each new day bring you moments to cherish
• Merry Christmas and may you live a long and happy life filled with goodwill and friendship
• May this New Year bring you peace and tranquillity, and as you walk your path may it bring you contentment
• I hope you know how much I value your friendship. I wish you a very merry Christmas and may we enjoy many more years together as friends
• On this most blessed day, I wish you love for all your kindness, and I hope the New Year will bring you many days of happiness.
• Merry Christmas, and may this New Year bring you joy and laughter
• To be happy is the greatest wish in life
If you want to wish your friends and acquaintances well in English, you can confidently write these expressions in messages and cards.
What You Can Write in Christmas and New Year’s Cards to Wish Someone Well
The expressions should not be too long, but at the same time they should be meaningful; we try to write everything clearly and concisely, since we are not writing a letter, but a card. So look at a few examples of how to express your wishes in a card in English.
• It is easy to get lost in the flurry of activity during the holiday season. May you get time to take in the beauty and true meaning of the season and have a Merry Christmas!
• I wish you a blessed holiday season. May this Christmas bring you comfort, joy, peace and happiness to last throughout the coming year!

Write cards to your friends! In the era of the Internet age, we’ve forgotten how happy we are when we receive a handwritten letter.
Personally, I would like to wish you, even more, the determination in the new year to study, work harder, be even kinder and more sympathetic, and may your cherished wishes and dreams come true!
In 2022 you will definitely learn English!
I wish you well during the upcoming holidays!
