  • Merry Christmas and happy New Year!

    The following greeting was posted on the XS650 list by a guy in Australia. I made a couple of small changes to make it applicable to the USA. It is suggested that this greeting be used by all those who are "concerned" that their holiday greetings might be construed as "insensitive" or even "offensive" by those poor wretches who need desperately to get a life.

    POLITICALLY CORRECT HOLIDAY GREETINGS

    From us (the wishor) to you (the wishee):

    Please accept without obligation, implied or implicit, our best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, politically correct, low stress, non-addictive, gender neutral, celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect to the religious/secular persuasions and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all…and a financially successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2006 but with due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures or sects whose contributions to society have helped make America great (not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country) and having regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith, choice of computer platform or dietary preference of the wishee. By accepting this greeting you are bound by these terms, that:

    This greeting is subject to further clarification or withdrawal.

    This greeting is fully transferable provided that no alteration to the original greeting shall be made and that the proprietary rights of the wishor are acknowledged.

    This greeting implies no promise by the wishor to actually implement any of the wishes.

    This greeting may not be enforceable in certain jurisdictions and/or or the restrictions herein may not be binding on certain wishees in certain jurisdictions and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wishor.

    This greeting is warranted to perform as reasonably may be 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.

    The wishor warrants this wish only for the limited replacement of this wish or issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion of the wishor.

    Any references in this greeting to “The Lord”, “Santa Claus”, “Our Savior”, or any other festive figures, whether actual or fictitious, dead or alive, shall not imply any endorsement by or from them in respect of this greeting, and all proprietary rights in any referenced third party names and images are hereby acknowledged.

      POLITICALLY CORRECT

      Emailed to my "older" sister.
      She was one of the hippy crowd in the 60's.
      Made a few adjustments too.

        Happy Merry Christhanukkwaanzafestivusmas.

        I think I got everybody.

        I am not particularly religious, and I do understand the constitutionality issues, and I understand the reason for the season.

        So Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

        So sue me...

            Happy Ramahanukwanzmas! I believe that covers most except for Hindus, Confucionists, Bhuddists, Voodooists, various Amer-Indian & Jibaro sects and Atheists...dunno about the Agnostics. Myself, I'm fast becoming a Confusionist... Best wishes all!
