[English] Merry something or other :)

[Stephen Loosley]

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, our best wishes
for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress,
nonaddictive, gender neutral celebration of the solstice holiday,
practiced with the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion
or secular practices of your choice with respect for the religious/secular
persuasions and/or traditions of others, or the choice not to practice
religious or secular traditions at all.

We also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and
medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally
accepted calendar year 2008, 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 Australia is necessarily
greater than any other country) and without regard to the race, creed,
color, 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.
