Question
I am trying to write a Christmas card to a friend who is from Croatia and doesn't speak much English.  I know ZERO Croatian.  I would like to say,
"Merry Christmas, Maria!  I hope you have a wonderful holiday.  I am so glad we work together.  Enjoy your time with your family.  Your friend."

Also, how do you say, "Hello, how are you" in Croatian?  If you could give me the pronunciation, too, that would be great.  Thank you

Answer
You should write:
"Sretan Bozic, Maria! Nadam se da ugodno provodis blagdane i drago mi je sto zajedno radima.
Uzivaj u vremenu provedenom s obitelji.
Tvoja prijateljica."

I´m not sure how to explain pronounciation...it´s quite different then English pronouciation.
"hello, how are you?" = "Bok , kako si?"
