Please accept with no obligation, implicit or explicit, my best wishes for an environmentally
conscious, socially responsible, low stress, non-addictive, gender neutral celebration of the
winter solstice holiday, practised within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious
persuasion or secular practices of your choice, with total respect for the religious/secular
persuasions and/or traditions of others, and their choice not to practise religious or secular
traditions at all... and a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically
uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2006, but not
without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society
have helped make Britain great (not to imply that Britain is necessarily greater than any other
country nor is it the only "BRITAIN" in the northern hemisphere), and without regard to the
race, creed, colour, age, physical ability, religious faith, sexual orientation and choice of
computer platform 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 wishee actually to implement any of the wishes for
her/himself or others, and 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 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 wisher.
(As received from my eldest daughter, currently resident in Dubai)
