Subject:      Seasons Greetings to all

I found this on the npr blog  I read every day www.npr.org/blogs/mycancer
I thought you would enjoy it!


Best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially acceptable, low
stress, non-addictive, gender neutral, winter solstice holiday, practiced
within the most joyous traditions of the religious persuasion of your
choice, but with respect for the religious persuasions of others who
choose to practice their own religion as well as those who choose not to
practice a religion at all

Additionally, a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling, and relatively
medically uncomplicated recognition of the generally accepted calendar
year 2008, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of
other cultures whose contributions have helped make our society great,
without regard to the race, creed, color, religious, or sexual preferences
of the wishes.

(Disclaimer: This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It
implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes
for himself or others and has no responsibility for any unintended
emotional stress these greetings may bring to those not caught up in the
holiday spirit.)
