For Our Democratic Friends:
"Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, our best
wishes
for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible,
low-stress,
non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice
holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious
persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice,
with
respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of
others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular
traditions
at all.
We also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling
and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the
generally
accepted calendar year 2006, but not without due respect for the
calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to
society
have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is
necessarily greater than any other country nor the only America in the Western
Hemisphere. And without regard to the race, creed color, age,
physical
ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishee. By accepting these greetings you are accepting these terms. This
greeting
is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It is freely
transferable
with no alteration to the original greeting. It implies no promise
by
the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for herself or
himself or others, and is void where prohibited by law and is
revocable
at the sole discretion of the wisher. This wish is warranted to
perform
as expected within the usual application of good tidings for a
period
of
one year or until the issuance of a subsequent holiday greeting,
whichever comes first, and warranty is limited to replacement of
this
wish or issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion of the
wisher."
For Our Republican Friends:
Here's wishing all of You a
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
