Nadam se da si imao/imala lijep Božiæ i Novu godinu.


Explanation:
(male, sg.) 'si imao'
(female Sg.) 'si imala'
(male or male+female, Pl.) 'ste imali'
(female Pl.) 'ste imale'

'I hope you had a good time for X-mass and New Year' = nadam se da si se dobro proveo/provela (male/female Sg.)za Božiæ i Novu godinu. = this is a more precise comment with more words in both languages.
I understand that 'to have a good time for X-mass' doesn't mean the same as 'to have a good X-mass' in English either.
