1. Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, carbon neutral, socially responsible, low stress, non-addictive, gender non-specific celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practised within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasions and/or traditions of others, or the choice as athiest or agnostic not to practice religious or secular traditions in any form.
2. May you have a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling, and medically uncomplicated period of time determined by the recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2012, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice for other cultures, and due regard to the race, creed, colour, age, physical ability, religious faith, or sexual orientation of the recipient.
DISCLAIMER - By accepting this greeting, you are accepting the following terms and conditions:
a) This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal.
b) This greeting is freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting, any alteration to the intended or implied greetings may render the greeting inoperable.
c) This greeting 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.
d) 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.
This was passed to me by an ex-colleague - he was reminded of the time when I was a management trainer and had to re-write a great deal of course materials after the implementation of equal opportunity policies. This causes a great deal of non PC comment in the pub after work!
Merry Christmas everyone!
