You can say "Felice Anno Nuovo" = Happy New Year or "Ti auguro un Felice Anno Nuovo" = I want to wish you a Happy New Year. You may want to wait for a native to confirm this.
Thanks so much guys - I'm going to text it now!
How then would I say - 'Happy New Year, I hope it brings you so much happiness'
Thank you! Happy new year.

Felice/Buon anno nuovo a te e a John. Spero che il 2007 vi porti tanta salute e felicità.
We posted exactly at the same time!!
You need "vi" and not "ti" in this case, because the subject is plural "te e John".
Thank you Pirlo

You're welcome, Pirlo. I'd be glad to explain you the use of "di", but I suppose you have to open a new thread, because it's a different topic.
Thank you also Irene + for the correction + explanation.

Tutto minuscolo, direi...
Si divertono is the verb form for "they" not "you"
I think the rest is fine, though.
Buon natale
Edit: On second thoughts, it might be better to use the future tense "vi diverterete". Natives?

Yes, I had that suspicion, too. Thanks Necsus.
By the way, which form would you prefer for an informal greeting? Or wouldn't it make much difference?

Maybe the future is a little more informal, but the difference is very slight.
Yes, of course.
Hello again:
I am writing an email to a "female" friend and need help with the verb tense, adjectives and gender.
Here is what I want to say in part:
Looking forward to another great year with you!
A un altro fantastico anno insieme con te!
or I might use this:
Looking forward to 2009 with you!
Mi piacerebbe passare 2009 con te!
Just want to make sure I have the correct gender and tense.
Grazie mille and Felice Anno Nuovo

'A un altro fantastico anno insieme A te' is very very nice.
or
'Quanto mi piacerebbe passare il 2009 con te!'
but that's different. So it depends on what your communicative aim is.

I'd translate it as following:
Non vedo l'ora di poter passare un sacco di tempo con te nel 2009!
Dear All:
Could someone kindly translate these frase for me in Italian?
Happy New Year to you too! May all the dreams in your eyes, and all the hopes in your life blend together to give you the most spectacular 2009!
Many thanks,
Sabela

Well, actually it would be something like:
Buon Anno a te e a John. Vi auguro un 2007 pieno di salute e felicità/spero che il 2007 vi porti tanta salute e felicità
Hope that helps
Joe
Can we express in "cappodanno"?
for example like "Buon cappodanno" some what.
Grazie

Sabela, here is a suggestion, but it is assuming you are sending this wish to one person:
Felice Anno Nuovo a te anche! Che tutti i sogni negli occhi tuoi, e tutte le speranze nella vita si fondano insieme a darti il 2009 spettacolarissimo.
For more than one:
Felice Anno Nuovo a voi anche! Che tutti i sogni negli occhi vostri, e tutte le speranze nella vita si fondano insieme a darvi il 2009 spettacolarissimo.
Please note, I am not a native Italian speaker. I may have translated too literally. I await corrections from my madrelingua friends.
And they have come...!
(even though 'i sogni negli occhi' is not so commonly used...)

Gracie Mille! Thank you so much for your translation it has helped me tremendously! All the best
Not exactly.
If you say Buon Capodanno you're actually wishing people they spend a beautiful New Year's Eve and a great 1st day of the year.
