TotallyOz Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 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 persuasion 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 2008 , but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere. Also, this wish is made without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishes. (Not original, sent via e-mail to me.

Members TampaYankee Posted December 14, 2007 Members Posted December 14, 2007 I am not sure what all that was about but I think it boils down to: May your 12 days of Christmas be Merry with partridges, pears, doves, hens, rings... and your true love. May your lights be festive for all Eight Days of (Happy) Chanukha, and... May your festive fruits flourish thru all Seven Days of (Happy) Kwanzaa. Quote
