Thanks! But... where on earth did you find this? A translator service, by
any chance? :)

For those unfamiliar with Dutch (arguably one of the most complex European
languages), it translates to 'Happy new year, but that the new year itself
is feeling happy, like 'I'm happy that Santa Claus gave me an AN1x'.

Gelukkig nieuwjaar!

As a matter of fact, the difference between 'verheugd' and 'gelukkig' is
rather hard to explain. I'll leave this to my fellow Dutch speakers.

Is-sena it-tajba!
