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/summer
solstice holiday, practised within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with due 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 2005, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures, and without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith, choice of computer platform, 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/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. This warranty is limited to replacement of this wish or issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion of the wisher.)
NOTE: all greetings conveyed in this message (including greetings conveyed by inclusion, unless said included greeting has been otherwise legitimately conveyed to the recipient) are applicable only to intended recipient of the message. Anyone else receiving this greeting must immediately notify the sender, delete or otherwise put beyond use, all copies of the greeting, and regard themselves as remaining un-greeted until such time that they receive a greeting intended for themselves, or other communication from the sender confirming their status as not-to-be-greeted. Failure to comply with these conditions will result in the unauthorised recipient of the greeting being regarded, and publically denounced, by the sender as a really sad case.
