To Whom it May Concern....

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, our 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 persuasions and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all.

In addition, please also accept our best wishes for a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2009, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make this country great (not to imply that this country is necessarily greater than any other country or area of choice), and without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual orientation of the wishers.

This wish is limited to the customary and usual good tidings for a period of one year, or until the issuance of a subsequent holiday greeting, whichever comes first. "Holiday" is not intended to, nor shall it be considered, limited to the usual Judeo-Christian celebrations or observances, or to such activities of any organized or ad hoc religious community, group, individual or belief (or lack thereof).

Note: By accepting this greeting, you are accepting these terms. This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal, and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher at any time, for any reason or for no reason at all. This greeting is freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting. This greeting implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for the wisher her/himself or others, or responsibility for the consequences which may arise from the implementation or non- implementation of it.

This greeting is void where prohibited by law.

Merry Christmas to you as well, mate...

You're right. He was probably born much earlier in the year, but like all good Chrstian holidays, it had to stamp out a pagan tradition at the same time, so they just retconned Jesus' birth to quash those damned dirty pagans.

Merry Christmas everyone!

BYE

You got your Christianity in my Solstice/Yule!

And stole my evergreen tree! And my Yule log! And my Mistletoe!

Have a happy one, though. It's still a great time of year to celebrate, and I like the secular holiday about as much as my holy day.

Oh noes, who let the cynic loose in the Happy Holiday thread.. someone get the vinegar and give him some.. It's only appropriate.

Nollaig shona duit, a chairde.

And remember Kiddies-Santa doesn't want cookies and milk. He wants chocolate cake, coffee, tequila and salsa waiting for him!

(its bad when the little one looks right at you and says "what kind of cookies does Santa want this year?")

How is that bad? Good cookies!

Santa gets a bacon sandwich, a glass of stout and a shot of whiskey in our house.
He gets a burger and a can of lager in my sister's house.
He's a man of many and varied tastes, is santa.

Hence the belly! And the jolliness!

Yes, the happy sarcastic politically motivated holiday thread. Christmas nomenclature wars, goody. Sure do love watching the fight for a month out of every year. Can't wait for the sean hannity bill o'rielly foreigners are destroying christmas by demanding we call it happy holidays special.

And it all started with the most PC greeting possible.

It's so much easier when you don't celebrate.

Incorrect, Santa’s jolly because he knows where all the bad girls are (ducks flying shoe from the wife on that one).
