happy holidays

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 persuasions 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 onset 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
or is 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.

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 her / 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.
