In the spirit of the season as well as the both ecumenical and
controversy-doting spirit of this list, I offer the following:

"Please accept with no obligation, expressed or implied, 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 practice 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 ------ and a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling, and
medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the
generally-accepted calendar year 2000, 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 or is the only "America" in the western
hemisphere), and without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical
ability, religious faith, choice of computer platform, or sexual,
clarinet/mouthpiece/reed 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 actually to implement any of the wishes for
her/himself or others, is void where prohibited by law, and is revocable
at the sole discretion of the wisher.
"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;
warranty is limited to replacement of this wish or issuance of a new
wish at the sole discretion of the wisher."
