Happy New Year greetings in English
The most common and simple congratulations Happy New Year is the phrase Happy New year! [happy New Year] – Happy New Year! And in the case when it is necessary to indicate to whom exactly the congratulations are addressed, a construction with the preposition to is added, for example: Happy New year to you! – [happy new year] Happy New Year to you!
Usually, wishes are added to the congratulations. According to their structure, they can be divided into two groups:
Wishes starting with the phrase I wish you - [ay vish yu] I wish you, after which the wishes are listed.
For example: I wish you success in your career, positive emotions and a fortune! – [ay vish yu saxes in yo karie, positive emotions and e fochen] I wish you success in your career, positive emotions and a happy destiny!
These congratulations specifically indicate who they come from. It is worth noting that if a group of people, rather than one person, wishes Happy New Year, it is necessary to say We wish you - [wish yu] we wish you.
Wishes starting with the phrase Let the new year bring you - [let the new year bring you] may the new year bring you, after which the wishes are also listed.
For example: Let the New Year bring you only bright discoveries, interesting ideas and pleasant sensations! – [let the new year bringing you only bright discovery, entertaining ideas and pleasing sensations] may the new year bring you only bright discoveries, interesting ideas and pleasant sensations!
These wishes do not imply the person from whom the congratulation comes.
As a rule, congratulations are followed by gratitude from the person who was congratulated. You can express gratitude using phrases such as Thank you very much! – [senk yu very much] thank you very much! or Thanks a lot! – [sanks e lot] thank you very much!
Dialogue example:

We always celebrate New Year at home. A week before the holiday we begin to decorate our house with lights and garlands. We also put up a New Year tree and decorate it with balls, cones, icicles and other toys, tinsel and lights. Under the tree we usually put statues of Father Frost and Snow Maiden. We put New Year presents there too.
On the 31st of December we always cook salads. My mother usually roasts meat and boils potatoes. She always bakes our favorite Napoleon cake. We watch New Year programs and films on TV.
At about ten o'clock we all sit down at the table and have a meal. Just before midnight we light sparklers and my father opens a bottle of champagne. We watch the president’s speech on TV, and then while the clock is striking midnight, we make wishes and drink champagne. After that we go to the balcony to watch fireworks.
When we come back into the room we open our presents. I usually get a lot of presents for the New Year. And I always try to give presents to my parents, grandparents and friends.
