I wanted to start it this year but it is
so difficult in the current climate to know exactly what to say without
offending someone. So I met with my solicitor yesterday, and on his
advice, say the following:

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for
an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress,
non-addictive, gender neutral celebration of the summer 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.
Also we 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 the world a great place, and without regard to the
race, creed, colour, age, physical ability, religious faith, or sexual
preference of the wishee.
By accepting this greeting, you 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
wishor to actually implement any of the wishes for himself or others, and
is void where prohibited by law, and is revocable at the sole discretion
of the wishor.
This wish is warranted to perform as expected within the usual application
of good tidings for a period of one year, or until the issuance of a
subsequent holiday greeting, whichever comes first, and warranty is
limited to replacement of this wish or issuance of a new wish at the sole
discretion of the wishor...

Disclaimer:
No trees were harmed in the sending of this message, however, while a
significant number of electrons were inconvenienced, no bits were lost.

Very best wishes, to you, for Xmas and a great 2010.
