În prag de sărbători, cu pace, lumină şi căldură în suflet, vă doresc să aveţi parte de zile minunate, de un Moş Crăciun darnic şi bun, să vă bucuraţi şi să aşteptaţi anul ce vine. Un an mai bogat în împliniri, mai înalt în aspiraţii şi plin de succese. Crăciun fericit şi La mulţi ani!
Just before the winter holidays, with peace, light and warmth in my soul, I wish you your share of wonderful days, a generous and good Santa Claus, and expectations for the coming year. A year rich in achievements, with high goals and full of successes. Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year!

iepurica, what does
to wait for the coming year
mean? Is it "expect the best in the coming year"?
No, she wrote "să aşteptaţi anul ce vine" which means exactly "to wait for the year which is coming" or "to wait for the coming year". I don't understand what did she intend by saying that, usually I don't use this kind of greeting, so that's exactly why I have translated word-by-word.
Hmmm...
How about "expectations for the coming year"?
In French, Attendre ("to wait" ) and Attentes ("expectations" ) are very close. How about Romanian?
Shouldn't "richer" and "higher" be kept in the translation? Because in the Romanian text we have "mai bogat" and "mai înalt" (which is the comparative of superiority).
Good question, miyabi!
Sorry about that, iepurica! Do you want me to put them back in?
(dramati has already validated it, but I can still modify the text if you want!)
