Merry Christmas!*

*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 tradition or persuasion of your choice, including but not limited to secular practices, with respect for the religious and/or secular traditions or practices of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all.

I also wish you a fiscally sound and 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 necessarily greater than any other country, nor 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.

By accepting these greetings, you are accepting these terms. This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal at any time without prejudice to either party. It is freely transferable with no alteration of the original greeting. It implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for herself, himself or others, and is void where prohibited by law and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher, without approval or agreement from the wishee. 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 any subsequent holiday greeting, whichever comes first, and this warranty is limited to the wisher's obligation to replace this wish or issue a new wish at the sole discretion of the wisher.
