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 summer solstice holiday, practiced within
the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or
the secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious or
secular persuasions and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to
practice religious or secular traditions at all.
May you have a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically
uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar
year 2010, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other
cultures whose contributions to society have helped to make Australia great
(not to imply that Australia is necessarily greater than any other country)
and without regard to the race, creed, colour, age, physical ability,
religious faith, political belief, choice of computer platform or sexual
preference of the wishee.
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 herself or himself or others, 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 the warranty is
limited to replacement of this wish or issuance of a new wish at the sole
discretion of the wisher.
i.e. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
More seriously, I wish all a safe and happy Christmas and New Year. May all your fears come to nought and your expectations be fulfilled. And thanks to you all for your advice and good humour.
