German term or phrase: Mit Ihnen allen freuen wir uns auf 2006
Hi, having waded through a couple of pages of a speech I now stumble across this beaut at the very end. It's the part in asterisks that is giving me a headache. Any takers?

Gerne nutze ich die Gelegenheit, um Ihnen und Ihren Angehörigen besinnliche Weihnachttage zu wünschen. ***Mit Ihnen allen freuen wir uns auf 2006!***

We join you all in looking forward to 2006
Explanation:
Or "we would like to wish you all a prosperous 2006" if you can take a bit of liberty with the original to make it sound like something someone would actually say in English!
