Holiday Wish
[viciously stolen from an exceedingly intelligent friend, you know who you are]
To All My 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 onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2012, 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. Also, I, as the "wisher" convey this wish without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith, veteran status or sexual preference of the "wishee."
In short .....
Have a very Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year!
