Thanks Shovers. Apropos for all our friends and family

To My Democrat Friends:




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 2010 , 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 or

we 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 wish.





To My Republican

Friends:



Merry Christmas & Happy New

Year!
