A friend sent me this…..sad to say but the world is probably coming to this1!

Dear Friend/Client/Fellow Human:

Due to the Season of the year, I wanted to send you this heartfelt message

that should touch you deeply by its immediacy and relevance to the world we

live in. I felt it appropriate to sent this to you as a testament of my

greetings this year.

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my wish for an

environmentally conscious, socially responsible, politically correct,

non-addictive, low stress, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice

holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious

persuasion of your choice, as well as the secular practices of your choice,

with full respect for the religious/secular persuasions and/or traditions of

others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at

all with reference to individual beliefs practiced or not practiced at this

time of each year.

Further, please accept my wish for a fiscally successful, personally

fulfilling, and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the

generally accepted calendar year 2008, but not without due respect for the

calendar of choice of other cultures whose contribution to our diverse

society has helped make this country great (not to imply that the USA is

necessarily greater than any other country, and without regard to the race,

creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith, social, economic  or

veteran status or sexual orientation of the wisher, wishee or their third

party beneficiaries).

These wishes are limited to the customary and usual good tidings for a

period of approximately one year (as measured in the traditional context of

365 24-hour days), or until the issuance of a subsequent and similarly

expressed holiday greeting, whichever comes first.

Use of the term "Holiday" herein is not intended to, nor shall it be

considered to be, limited to Judeo-Christian celebrations or observances,

nor to such activities of any organized or ad hoc religious community group,

individual or belief (or lack thereof). In particular, the word "holiday" is

used herein without reference to its etymology.

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.
