Athbhliain faoi Mhaise Duit [Happy New Year]
Athbhliain faoi Mhaise Daoibh [You have a prosperous new year; said to two or more people]
Nollaig Shona agus Athbhliain faoi Mhaise Duit [Happy Christmas and a prosperous new year; singular]
Nollaig Shona agus Athbhliain faoi Mhaise Daoibh [the same, but plural]
Go mba hé duit [The same to you]
More seasons greetings (in Irish) for your collection, Randy. I'll try to find out how the words are actually pronounced later; Irish is even worse than English in this regard. The spelling and the pronounciation of the word are related, but not in a way visible to the naked eye.

Thanks to all and best wishes to all.
Jim, you could not get me drunk enough. The funny thing is if I were so inclined timewise and moneywise to take voice lessons I could probably sing well enough to be passable. The sad thing is I know the words by heart of so many songs.
Akaky, the only phrase I know in Gaelic is a well known command delivered with anger and have no idea how it's pronounced or spelled.
Debby,
Great Chile photos!
Dave,
best to you as well!
