anyone speak Polish?

I'd like to write "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year" in Polish in a card for my lovely neighbour who is from Poland.
Does anyone know or know someone who does speak Polish? I tried Babel Fish, but it doesn't have Polish on there.

I tried www.poltran.com, and they don't seen to have a word for Merry, so I tried Happy Christmas and Happy New Year instead and got:

Szczęśliwe Boże Narodzenie i Szczęśliwy Nowy Rok

Indeed!

Edit: translation.babylon.com says:

Wesołych Świąt i Szczęśliwego Nowego Roku

And this page says:

Merry Christmas - Wesolych Swiat Bozego Narodzenia

Happy New Year: Szczesliwego Nowego Roku

And this website says:

Wesolych Swiat, Bozego Narodzenia i Szczesliwego Nowego Roku!

So I think that one seems the most common - I don't trust the websites that do a straight word for word translation with no context.

Ooh and this website has pronunciation too!

That's a very sweet gesture. ^^ I am sure any of those from the websites would do. Even if it isn't perfect I am sure your neighbor would appreciate the effort to honor her heritiage.

I use google translate for all of my translation needs, I sometimes have to translate to and from languages that are both native to me because I forget words and they are at the tip of my tongue (it's really annoying)- google works really well- here is the link although you don't really need cuz it's exactly what sarahp already said

I'm sure my Great-Uncle knows but I don't have his number. And I think if I did it would take me longer to get him to understand who I am than to get the answer. Not that he doesn't know who I am; it would just be completely out of the blue!

Did you find what you needed? My MIL speaks Polish and I will ask her if you haven't figured it out yet.

That's great guys! Thank you all for your help. I had no idea there were so many translation websites out there!
I will go with the most common one, spell it out carefully, and won't even attempt to say it out loud!

omg! it sounds cool (although imo it sounds way different from the spelling below

the guy says Wesołych świąt! (Merry Christmas) sounds like vess-so-ish fyonte (I'm not Polish - can you tell?

more sites should be like that! too cool

I thought it was really cool too - I had a great time listening to them and trying to pronounce them

My husband is 100% Polish and there are members of his family that still speak the language. He and I joke about how nothing ever sounds like it looks like when it is spelled out. A lot of zzzz's and ish's in the pronounciations. Of course never say that to anyone who lives in Poland!!

I know a little bit but I don't know "Merry Christmas" or anything.
You've already gotten the advice I would have given
Very nice gesture, too.

it does my head in listening to the pronounciation while trying to read it!
