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 winter solstice holiday(tm), 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 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, choice of computer platform, or sexual orientation 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 wisher to actually 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.

I have to say "Happy Holidays," but I do add when people say it to me that they can say "Merry Christmas."
I explain that even if I were not a Christian, the phrase would hardly bother me at all. I have better things to do.
I also explain that I am irritated that I have to watch what I say or people will be OFFENDED. I state that some people just need to grow up and stop with this oppression crap.
We have quite a few Jewish customers and when my sister says "Merry Christmas," she asks me "Oh no, what if they are Jewish?" I reply that if I were Jewish, I wouldn't care so she should not worry about it.
What a world we live in, eh? I think I am going to say Merry Christmas to every person I see this year... even my Muslim friends! :D
Well Said!
According to the PC crowd, seems we're a country where everybody want Christmas presents but we're not supposed to wish folks a Merry Christmas along with their presents???
