Hopefully 2009 will be a smooth year!

爆竹聲中一歲除, 春風送暖入屠蘇,
千門萬戶曈曈日, 總把新桃換舊符.

(宋 王安石)

My translation attempt:

A new year arrive with the sound of the firecracker,
People can feel the spring breeze the carries the smell of the wine;
Families eagerly put on the new year couplets under the sunshine.

(Don't use this for your homework or essay, you will probably get a failed grade.)
