Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes
for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, non-addictive,
gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced
within the 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 such traditions at all).*

Furthermore, I offer my (non-binding) best wishes for the onset of the
generally accepted calendar year of 2007, but not without due respect
for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to
society have helped make Canada and the USA great. (Which is not to imply
that Canada or the USA are any greater than any other countries). These
wishes are offered without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical
ability, choice of computer platform or sexual preference of the wishee,
even if you're a Liberal or a Democrat.

Happy (if happiness is in your belief system) Holidays (if you
recognize them)!
