    Hello can anyone tell me the correct way to write an Irish card?

    This is what I think (below) but not sure of the "h" and the "i" and also is it correct to say ó in a card.

    Thanks in advance.


    A Cháit, a chara,

    Nollaig Shona Dhuit!

    ó Mary

    That's fine, if you wanted to be strict about it you could say "ó Mháire" as "ó" takes a "h" although it's generally accepted that you don't need to bother if the name stays in English. No real need for the "h" on "duit" but it's fine as it is, as most native speakers would write the same thing
