	I have also heard "Χρονια πολλα!" used for "Happy New Year" as well and for "Happy Name Day"...especially when spoken. Although, I don't think I have seen it written as a phrase in a New Year's card or something like that. So, I guess its kind of a more informal or "familiar" way of saying these phrases. -Dimitri Show parent \| Reply

	Thanks Dimitri. "Χρονια πολλα" is used for the birthdays I think. Alvaro Show parent \| Reply

	Dimitri is right. Informally, we use XRONIA POLLA for every occasion (Bdays, namedays, Xmas, New Year, Easter) Show parent \| Reply
