If you dont think the traditoinal message of Happy Christmas is
politically
correct enough......
then try this version.......

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 2006, 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), and without regard to the race, creed, colour, age, physical
ability, religious faith, 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 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 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.)

I prefer the much simpler, far less politically correct, Merry Christmas Smiley

May you all have a wonderful holiday season and I look forward to spending an enjoyable 2006 with all of you (virtually speaking of course, should you all show up at my house, I'm not entirely sure what I'd do *lol*

Awwwwww so we can't all drop by for Christmas tea then!?! *sniff* :'(
O-o-o-o-n-n-n-n-ly kidding!! Wink Grin

I'm all for being non-PC and I really find the 'Happy holidays' greeting so bland and unseasonal to be almost offensive - because people are now so frightened of upsetting non-Christians ... who for the most part don't care one way or the other, that they're unable to say 'Merry Christmas' without feeling guilty! Ridiculous!! Undecided
Still ... Merry Christmas ... Happy Holidays ... it doesn't matter - we ALL know the kind thoughts behind the good wishes and it makes for a refereshing change to be able to pass on the Seasons Greetings properly to other Forum members from around the world! YAY!!  Kiss Grin

Marcia - that was a classic piece of gobbledegook and I'll pass it on to a few well-chosen victims friends who could do with a good laugh! Wink Grin
