Since I'm nominally, if not a practicing, Christian, and all my
traditions come more or less from that sort of middle class North
American upbringing ...
Merry Christmas!
Otherwise, best of the season, the holidays and so on - see [1] below.
--
[1] From us ("the wishor") to you ("hereinafter called the wishee")
Please accept without obligation, implied or implicit, our best wishes
for an environmentally- conscious, socially-responsible,
politically-correct, 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
persuasions and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice
religious or secular traditions at all... and a financially-successful,
personally-fulfilling, and medically- uncomplicated recognition of the
onset of the generally-accepted calendar year 2001, but with due respect
for the calendars of choice of other cultures or sects, and having
regard to the race, creed, colour, age, physical ability, religious
faith, choice of computer platform, or dietary preference of the wishee.
