Season's Greetings

12/14/2006

For My Democrat and Politically Correct Friends, please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my 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.

I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the generally accepted calendar year 2007, 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. I extend these greetings and wishes without regard to race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference. By accepting these greetings you are accepting these terms.

These greetings and wishes are subject to clarification or withdrawal. They are freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting.  They imply no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for himself or others, are void where prohibited by law, and are revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher.

*For My Republican and Conservative Friends, May your Christmas be full of Joy, Christmas music, and Love, and may your New Year be full of God’s Blessings.  Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! *

While I would love to take full credit for having composed this piece, alas!, I can not, but I sincerely hope you all have a great Holiday Season this year.

And that is all I have to say about that…
