With the end of the year coming up could anyone help me formulate neutral season's greetings in Norwegian (Bokmal, Nynorsk ànd Sami, please)

Norwegian translation:God jul og godt nyttår
Explanation:
If 'season's greetings' includes 'merry Christmas' and 'happy New Year', you use 'God jul (merry Christmas) og (and) godt nyttår (happy New Year)'. Otherwise, you split it up.

Jeg sender selv kort med denne hilsenen til venner som kanskje synes det er hyggelig med juleferie, men som ikke egentlig feirer jul, f.eks. muslimer, hinduer, jøder osv.
