A Christmas Greeting to all

I wanted to send some sort of holiday greeting to my friends and colleagues, but it is difficult in today's world to know exactly what to say without offending someone. So I met with my lawyer yesterday, and on her 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 summer/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 2013, but not without due respect for the calendar of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make our country great (not to imply that England is necessarily greater than any other country) 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. The 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 new wish at the sole discretion of the wisher.

Best Regards ( without prejudice )

I hope that everyone on TR has a wonderful holiday season. Its always great to get together with family and friends and share good times. To my friends at TR I'd like to say that I wish you all the best of everything and I've enjoyed all of our exchanges over the year. You are all truly special people and though we may never meet, I consider you my friends.

Merry Christmas Everyone.

Only 2 hours to go here, though we all could be dead and not know it as the World could have ended on December 21 a few days ago. :^0

We keep going in and out of a winter storm warning. One forecast, we are going to get up to 8 inches tomorrow, then the next they remove the warning and say it'll only be an inch, then an hour later, the crawler at the bottom of the TV says we're under a warning again.

I love a white christmas!
