Merry Christmas and [Happy] New Year's Day from all [of us] is an English equivalent of 'Buon Natale e Capodanno di Tutti'. The masculine adjective 'buono'* means 'good', fortunate'. The masculine noun 'Natale' means 'Nativity'. The conjunction 'e' means 'and'. The masculine noun 'Capodanno' combines the masculine noun 'capo'with the preposition 'di'* and the masculine noun 'anno' to mean 'head of year'. All together, they're pronounced 'bwohn nah-TAH-leh eh KAH-poh-DAHN-noh'.

*The vowel 'o' of 'buono' drops before a noun that begins with a consonant. The vowel 'i' of 'di' drops before a noun that begins with a vowel.
