第50話:How to say your holiday greetings in English(クリスマスカードや年賀状にメッセージをそえて)


What to say to (or write) your English-speaking friends for your New Year’s cards

Oh! The nengajou season is once again upon us. It’s time to write our friends and family our well wishes for the coming year. 2019 is only two weeks shy of closing and you might still be wondering what greetings to write everyone who is important to you.  

In this blog, I will be suggesting greetings and wishes you can say or write to your English-speaking friends in this holiday season, i.e., Christmas and New Year.

Let’s start with the most common ones that never get out of style. You may use them for your co-workers or acquaintances:

英語でのグリーティングカード(クリスマス&年賀状)

年賀状を書く季節がまた来たね。友達や家族に「来年も幸せであられますように」という気持ちを書くんだよね。2019年もあと2週間で終わっちゃう、で大事な人たちそれぞれにどんな挨拶を書こうか迷っているかもしれないね。
さて今回のブログでは、休暇シーズン(クリスマスやお正月)に英語友達に送るのにオススメのあいさつを紹介しようとおもいます。

まずは平凡だけどどの時代にも使えるのから紹介しましょう。職場の同僚や知人に使うかな。




Happy Holidays!

Season’s Greetings!

Happy Holiday, from our family to yours.








Now, for your closest friends and family.

次は親友や家族に向けたもの。



To a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year!

Wishing you peace, love, and joy this holiday season and throughout 2020.

Wishing you all the happiness and good health this holiday season.

Warmest thoughts and best wishes for a wonderful holiday and a Happy New Year.

Wishing you and your loved ones peace, health, happiness, and prosperity in the coming New Year.




You can just use these greetings directly and write them in your cards but of course, your heartfelt and handwritten messages would be more personal and would definitely paint a smile on your loved ones’ faces.


Let’s share the holiday season’s spirit to everyone!

これらの挨拶は直接使えるし、グリーティングカードに書くのもよし。でもね、あなたからの心のこもった手書きのメッセージのほうが気持ち入っているし、もらう側も嬉しくてニッコリすること間違いなし!

さあ、クリスマスやお正月の気持ちをシェアしよう!
