To: All my liberal 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 2008, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped to make America great. Not to imply that America is
a) necessarily greater than any other country nor
b) that the United States of America is the only country/culture in North or South America.
Also this wish is made with out regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishee.
To: All my conservative friends
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
