I really wanted to send out some sort of holiday greeting but it is
so difficult in today's world to know exactly what to say without
offending someone. So I met with my attorney yesterday, and on his
advice I want to say to all of you: 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 2006, 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 wishies.
By accepting this greeting, 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
her/him 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.
