Politically correct xmas message


Happy/Hanukkah/Christmas/Solstice/Kwanza*



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 . . . and a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling, and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2007, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make this country great, (not to imply that this country is necessarily greater than any other country or is the only country so named in the western hemisphere), and without regard to the race, creed, colour, age, physical ability, religious faith, choice of computer platform, or sexual orientation 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 her/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.


*Delete as necessary

I apologise to any member of the public whose seasonal greeting we have inadvertently missed. Please inform us of the seasonal greeting of your choice, so that we can include it in our greeting next year.

Re: Politically correct xmas message


That's a riot!! There was a shorter spoof of politically correct greetings in the Times comic strip today: "Twas the night before Yule, And all over the nation I wish you Happy Holidays, Merry Vacation, Seasons Greetings to you, Enjoy the festivities, Generic good cheer to your rites and proclivities!" Getting ridiculous, isn't it.....
