This is safe ♪ Expressions used in greeting cards for the year-end and New Year holidays

Season's Greetings and Best Wishes!
This is the most common writing phrase used in New Year's greeting cards. Or, I often use the expression Wishing You A Happy Holiday Season.
2. Thank you very much for your help this year.
I greatly appreciate all your help this year.
Thanks for all your help this year. Or you really helped me in a lot of ways this year.
3. Have a good vacation.
Happy holidays!

4. We look forward to working with you next year.
I look forward to working with you again next year.
The expression "Thank you" in Japanese does not exist in English, but if you say it like this, it will be a close nuance. Translated literally, "I'm looking forward to working with you next year." Or I look forward to seeing you again next year.
5. I wish you a happy new year.
I hope that this coming year is a wonderful year for you.
Also remember I'm hoping for the very best for you in the coming year.
6. Don't catch a cold or a cold.
It's getting really cold, so please don't catch a cold.
"Catch a cold" means "to catch a cold." You can also say Keep warm and don't catch a cold!
7. Happy new year. May this year be a fruitful year as well.
Happy New Year! I hope that next year will be another great year!
"A fruitful year" is OK with a great year. Using the phrase Let's… (let's make it), even if you say Happy New Year! Let's have another great year ! The nuances are almost the same.
Do not show religious colors on COLUMN cards
Even if you are an English-speaking person, your religion differs depending on the person, such as Judaism or Islam. For example, it is rude to send a card that says "Merry Christmas!" To a Jewish person, so be careful. If you don't know the religion that the other person believes in, it's safe to avoid cards and words that remind you of Christianity.
