Likewise Oscar,

I think... But could you translate larzihuhain for me? Here's what 
I *think* the rest says: "good health to all the Gothic folks..." -- 
that's us right? -- "have a good year and lots of booze...?"

I guessed *hlast- = OE hlæst "load". The OE word is neut., but the -
t- suffix is a common way of forming nouns in Go. from strong verbs, 
making fem. i-stems. Or if you wanted an attested word, you could 
use _ufarassus_ "an abundance, a lot".

Koebler has *supa "drink, booze", if I remember. Masc. an-stem, so 
the dat.pl. is probably *supam.

_jer_ is neuter, so you want _goþ jer_, or _godata jer_.
*hailiþa "health" would be feminine: goda hailiþa.
But there is a (probable, though not certain) neuter unhaili "poor 
health" attested, so you could have: goþ haili.

And the imperative of _haban_ is _habai_.

Hope that hasn't dampened your cheer :)
