Please
accept with no obligation, expressed or implied, 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 2015, but not without due respect for the
calendars of choice of other cultures whose
contributions to society have helped make America
great. This is, of course, neither to suggest nor
imply that America
is necessarily greater than any other country; also,
this is not to imply that "America," as
noted herein, is the only America in the Western
Hemisphere. May these heartfelt wishes be
received with equal intensity regardless of
distribution of individual wealth, documented carbon
footprint, or perceived social privilege among the
wishees addressed herein. This wish is made
without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical
ability, religious faith, or sexual preference of the
wishee.
To All My Republican Friends:
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
