Christmas wishes - what a country we live in these days!

[mrflipflop]

Dear All,

I wanted to send some sort of holiday greeting to my friends, but it is so

difficult in today's world to know exactly what to say without offending

someone. So I met with my solicitor yesterday, and on his advice I wish to

say the following:

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 with

the most enjoyable traditions of religious persuasion 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.

I also wish you 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 our country great

and without regard to the race, creed, colour, age, physical ability,
religious faith 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 / him

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.

Disclaimer: No trees were harmed in the sending of this message; however,
a
significant number of electrons were slightly inconvenienced

Dear mrflipflop !!

You are too politically correct. I disagree completely. For me, Christmas is Christmas, of tree and turkey,gifts and cards; Diwaali is Diwaali of lights, good wishes and presents; Mumbai is Bombay, Chennai is Madras, Zimbawe is Rhodesia and Harare is Salisbury. We all must learn to call a spade a spade whilst being tolerant of others, imbibing their good things, discarding bad.

Just a bit of tongue in cheek banter bud - I hate political correctness - I certainly call a spade a spade myself believe me !

Merry Chrimbo old chap!
