A better transliteration would be "Kala Khristouyenna ke kali khronia", where the kh is pronounced a bit like the ch in the German 'Achtung', but not quite as hard. In fact, you probably have the same sound in Cornish - they certainly do have it in Welsh (written 'ch'.)

This is in Greek:
ÎÎÎΠΧΡÎΣΤÎÎ¥ÎÎÎÎÎ = Merry Christmas
ÎÎÎ = and
ÎÎÎΠΧΡÎÎÎÎ = Happy New Year.
ΧΡÎÎÎÎ Î ÎÎÎÎ = Happy New Year.
For Happy New Year, you could use either of the above phrases as an addition to "Merry Christmas"
