How would I say the following?

To "Name"

Merry Christmas

or

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

With Love "Name"


Note; I know Merry Christmas, or Happy Christmas, is Nollaig Shona Duit and a Prosperous New Year is Athbhlian faoi maise. Would I just put an "agus" between the two?

Sorry if i have answered part of my own question.

P.S. include fadas id necessary

Athbhliain has no long stroke on the first a : athbhliain.


In Buachaill Rua's answer, duit = to you : one person; daoibh = to you guys, to yous (several persons)
