    Happy Holidays - No Offense
    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 generally accepted calendar year 2007, 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 the only America in the Western Hemisphere , And without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishes.

    By accepting these greetings 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 herself or himself or others, and 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, and warranty is limited to replacement of this wish or issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion of the wisher.

    Hmmm if I was a newt (and a newt with access to a computer at that), I'd be all offended by your post Robin! I mean do you once mention newts! Nope, not a newt, nor in fact any well wishes of the newt-ish persuasion!

    Newts Unite! Robin's picking on us and we are oppressed! (hey is that a bug over there....it's mine...mine I tell you!!!!!) :P

    I'm Jewish, and its ok to wish me a Merry Christmas. Only ********* makes a deal out of a greeting that is meant for well wishes.

    I love you guys and gals here. So many times at the office I am relieved that there are normal people out there!

    Thanks for the uplift in spirits!

    Akiva, I'm with you. I do not become offended if anyone is wishing me well, no matter the holiday. It's the thought behind the words. :D

    Jo, it's ok to talk about your newt issues. Admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery. :rofl:
