Holiday Greetings!

To all my Democratic friends:

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, 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
persuasion 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 2008, 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 or better than any other
country nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere. Also, this wish
is
made without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability,
religious faith or sexual preference of the wishee.



To all my Republican friends:

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
--
Peace, Om
