Czech Christmas and New Year’s Greetings

Say it in person (click for MP3 audio):
Veselé Vánoce! (Merry Christmas!)
Hezké svátky! or Krásné svátky! or Příjemné svátky! (Happy Holidays!)
Šťastný nový rok! (Happy New Year!)
Veselé Vánoce a šťastný nový rok! (Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!)

Write a holiday card:
Veselé Vánoce a šťastný nový rok přeje [Andy]!
(Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from [Andy]!)
Příjemné svátky a hodně štěstí v novém roce přeje [Andy]!

(Happy Holidays and good fortune in the New Year from [Andy]!)

Remember:

  • If your card is coming from more than one person, change přeje to přejí – like this: …přejí [Andy a Mandy]! (…from [Andy and Mandy]!)
  • Czech Christmas cards often include wishes for a happy and successful new year
  • Nový rok with a capital “N” means New Year’s Day (January 1st), while nový rok with a lower-case “n” refers to the whole upcoming year.
