Most of my friends wish me a Merry Christmas. A few say happy Holidays which is OK with me too because I believe they wish to be "politically correct" and not offend. Whether they are Republicans or Democrats I seldom question:
I pass this on with "tongue in cheek".
To My Democrat Friends and Acquaintances and to my Republican Friends and Acquaintances:
Please accept, with no obligation implied or explicit, 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 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 wishee.
To Most of My Republican Friends:
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
