    Not much difference to my mind, Petr. Probably 'Christmas' would be more common. 'New Year' is specific and always takes 'the' and capitals.

    Can I steal it and use it to wish you,

    I hope the warmest smile, the sweetest dreams, and the happiest heart will be yours at Christmas/Christmas time and in the New Year 2008.'

    Hoping the warmest smile, the sweetest dreams, and the happiest heart will be yours this Christmas and in the coming New Year.

    May the New Year bring you the best of health and the happiest of hearts.

    At Christmas, we think of family and the friends we hold dear.

    Christmas time is when we most think of family and the friends we hold dear. Though the miles have separated us, you have remained close to our hearts.
