Q: What's an appropriate CNY greeting to send via text message?
I regret not doing this last year, and I really want to do it this year, as it seems it's pretty customary for everyone to do it. I'm terrible with coming up with these kinds of things in Chinese though. Anyone out there have any suggestions for a short and succinct "happy CNY" greeting I can send to various Chinese colleagues and friends? Are there any "classics" that everyone uses? Thanks!
The standard basics are 新年快乐 and 新年好. Longer more prose-y versions, I have no idea...

Which is 'Xin nian kuai le', and 'xin nian hao' (if you're Chinese isn't up to reading characters :D)
Thanks to cooter and Shining_brow, but I really need something slightly longer and fancier than "happy new year". It's for close friends you see.
I found this website (http://m.szhufu.com/newyear/4146/index.html) but all of its text messages are pretty insane. Anyone else have any ideas for something less ridiculous but more personal than a simple "happy new year"? Or are these types of messages normal?
Too bad most of the Chinese members are at home already...
