Christmas Greetings
For Our Democratic Friends:
"Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, our 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.
We 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 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. 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 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, and warranty is limited to replacement of this wish or issuance of a new
wish at the sole discretion of the wisher."
For Our Republican Friends:
Here's wishing you a
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Don\'t get mad...
Get EVEN.

Cute- made me smile
And no offense taken. But please don't assume, or continue to spread the fallacy, that Democrats are by definition not Christians and/or do not
celebrate Christmas. My sister is a flaming liberal who is also a practicing Christian, and she has no problem wishing everyone a Merry Christmas.
Neither do most of my more liberal friends. When they are not sure about someone's religious views they might say "Happy Holidays" just to be polite,
but I don't see why there is anything wrong with that. They're just trying to share the joy of the season.
Feliz Navidad, everyone. (Or alternatively, Happy Pagan Holiday/Ritual of your Choice!)
Festivus for the rest of us?
