I just got this from a friend and had to share it! 
However you're celebrating this season, I hope you and
yours have a wonderful time together!
 
Happy Holidays~

========================================
Dear Friends,

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit,
my wish for an environmentally conscious, socially
responsible, politically correct, non-addictive, low
stress, gender-neutral celebration of the winter
solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable
traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice,
as well as the secular practices of your choice, but
with full respect for the religious/secular
persuasions and/or traditions of others, or their
choice not to practice religious or secular traditions
at all.

And further, please accept my wish for a fiscally
successful, personally fulfilling, and medically
uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the
generally accepted calendar year 2006, but not without
due respect for the calendar of choice of other
cultures whose contribution to our diverse society has
helped make this country great (not to imply that USA
is necessarily greater than any other country, and
without regard to the race, creed, color, age,
physical ability, religious faith, veteran status or
sexual orientation of the wisher, wishee or their
third party beneficiaries).

These wishes are limited to the customary and usual
good tidings for a period of approximately one year,
or until the issuance of a subsequent holiday
greeting, whichever comes first.

Use of the term "Holiday" herein is not intended to,
nor shall it be considered to be, limited to
Judeo-Christian celebrations or observances, nor to
such activities of any organized or ad hoc religious
community group, individual or belief (or lack
thereof). In particular, the word "holiday" is used
herein without reference to its etymology.

Note: By accepting this greeting, you are accepting
these terms. This greeting is subject to clarification
or withdrawal, and is revocable ab initio at the sole
discretion of the wisher at any time, for any reason
or for no reason.

This greeting is freely transferable provided that
there is no alteration to the original greeting text.
Any transfer is to be at the risk of the transferor
who, by making such transfer, thereby agrees to hold
the wishee harmless from any and all adverse
consequences resulting from such transfer.

This greeting implies no promise by the wisher to
actually take any action or fail to take any action to
implement any of the wishes for the wishee her/himself
or others, or responsibility for the consequences
which may arise from the implementation or
non-implementation of same.

This greeting is void where prohibited by law, custom
or policy and is offered irrespective of any card,
hard copy greeting or embarrassing self-indulgent
letter summarizing achievements in 2005, however
mendacious, which may or may not have been purveyed by
myself or any member of my extended family.

Best (sorry, reasonably endeavored) Wishes,

Yours Truly
=========================================



Don't say you don't have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein.
