Good grief! (as Charlie Brown would have said...) Melissa

Please accept, with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, non-addictive, gender neutral noting of the passage of the Winter Solstice Holiday, experienced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasions and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all.

Concomitantly, a wish is transmitted to you for a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling, and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2003, 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, or is the only "AMERICA" in the Western hemisphere) and without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith, sexual preference, political orientation, choice of computer platform, or software preference of the wishee.

Disclaimer: By accepting this greeting, you, the wishee, 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, others or the wishee; 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 implication of good tidings for a period of one year, or until the issuance of a subsequent holiday greeting, whichever comes first, and this warranty is limited to replacement of this wish or issuance of a new wish to the original wishee at the sole discretion of the wisher.

Any genesis of feelings and/or actual commencement of celebration(s) pursuant hereto is/are conducted at the sole risk of the wishee.
