"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 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. This is not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere. 

These wishes are sent without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference or orientation of the recipient. By accepting these greetings you are agreeing to the following terms:  

This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It is freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting without the express written permission of the issuer. 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. All warranties, either written or implied, are limited to replacement of this wish or issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion of the wisher."

For My Conservative Friends:

        Merry Christmas

                and a

     Happy New Year !!!!!!
