I wanted to send some sort of Christmas greeting but it is so
difficult in today's world to know exactly what to say without
offending someone. So I met with my solicitor yesterday, and on his
advice I wish to say the following...

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best
wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low
stress, no addictive, gender neutral celebration of the
summer/winter solstice holiday, practiced with the most enjoyable
traditions of religious persuasion 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.

I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and
medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally
accepted calendar year 2007, but not without due respect for the
calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society
have helped make our country great (not to imply that Sweden is
necessarily greater than any other country) 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 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.

Disclaimer: No trees were harmed in the sending of this message;
however, a significant number of electrons were slightly
inconvenienced.

All the best
Stacey, James, Jemma, Eleanor and Crystabelle
