funny card! but what do these words at the end mean?!
greets

ps: redrose, the other phrases mean nothing else than "Happy Christmas and a Happy New Year" in other languages! so you can use them (and be sooo sophisticated Wink

) i tell you what languages they are:

1 is English (hahaha.. )
2 is French
3 is German
4 is Polish, i think
5 is Italian
6 is Japanese
7 is Korean
8 is Latin (originally comes from the Bible et in terra, pax hominibus bonae voluntatis = And on earth peace to men of good will. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year means Natale hilare et Annum Nouvo, actually)
9 is Russian
10 is Spanish
11 is Turkish

and for you, redrose (and all chinese, too) i looked up this: Gong zhu ge wei shengdan kuai le yi ji xin nien kuai le Very Happy

is it right?!
greets

thanks for the correction Wink

but i have nearly no idea what i've said there Laughing

because i just copied it from a website! can you translate it literally? is it "I wish you a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year?" and, because we're at translating english to chinese Wink

can you translate something for me? a friend of mine has birthday in two weeks and i wanted to write him in chinese because he is chinese, so what's "Dear xxx I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! And because it's so near, also a Happy Birthday! Yours xxx" would be so cool if you'd do this for me!!
thanks! Very Happy

yeah, your guess is right. it is I wish you a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Very Happy

Referring to your friend's birthday, you can tell him: Dear XXX, Zu Nin ShengDan KuaiLe He XinNian KuaiLe! TongShi Zhu Ni ShengRi KuaiLe! Your stellara." Wink

snake, how did you know I would ask Bill Gates out to a dinner? you got it!! I would!! and since Bill Gates is so rich, so the dinner would be on him! Laughing

however, I don't think Bill Gates is handsome. Shocked

but for the sake of money, I would chase him Exclamation

But I appreciate that you doesn't ignore the wishes of your daughter when she says she doesn't like your bf and doesn't want to celebrate christmas with him! I think there are many single mothers who ignore their child(ren)s wish when it comes to their boyfriends...

greets Smile
