Whenever I think of it. To be honest, I usually don't say it until someone says it to me. 

If someone said it to me in, say, June, I'd ask them what New Year they are talking about. Otherwise, I'd just respond in kind.

I generally tend to say it when it is the next holiday (so after Christmas). If I know that I won't see or talk to the person again until after the holiday occurs, I wish them both a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. 

Currently, I am only saying Happy New Year. Not Happy New Year and Happy Valentine's Day. ;-)

I really don't pay that much attention to it. I write it in my holiday cards and they go out a week or so before Christmas. In person it depends on if I will likely see or talk to them again or not. Could be a week or more in advance.
