The following made the rounds last year, at least that was the first time I had seen it. In any event, in these terminally politically correct times we find ourselves, this greeting seems to merit another go-round this year. Being designed to offend no one, it more than likely offends everyone.
Best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, non-addictive, gender neutral, winter solstice holiday (or summer solstice for those of you south of the equator), practiced within the most joyous traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, but with respect for the religious persuasion of others who choose to practice their own religion as well as those who choose not to practice a religion at all; plus, a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling, and medically uncomplicated recognition of the generally accepted calendar year 2005, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of the other cultures whose contributions have helped make our society great, without regards to the race, creed, color, religious, or sexual preferences of the wishes. DISCLAIMER: This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for him/herself or others and no responsibility for any unintended emotional stress these greetings may bring to those not caught up in the holiday spirit. But for you out there who do not believe in political correctness, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and may all good things come your way.
