próspero año nuevo


Explanation:
en este caso se dice así:
"Feliz Navidad y Próspero Año Nuevo", como dice Ruth, sin "un".
En este caso "happy" no se traduce por "feliz" para evitar repetirlo, ya que "merry" es también "feliz" y quedaría mal decir "Feliz Navidad y feliz año nuevo"
Es el título de la web que te doy.
Pues...
¡Feliz 2003!
