My wishes for you for 2012...
(I borrowed and modified this poem from this neat web site of Festivals of the World)

Hours of happy times with family and friends

Abundant time for relaxation

Prosperity

Plenty of love when you need it the most

Youthful excitement at life's simple pleasures

Nights of restful slumber
Everything you need

Wishing you faith and hope

Years and years of good health

Enjoyment and mirth

Angels to watch over you

Remembrances of happy years!  ....  Author Unknown
