I wanted to send some sort of holiday greeting to my friends and colleagues, but it is difficult in today's world to know exactly what to say without offending someone. So I met with my lawyer yesterday, and on her 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 , non addictive , gender neutral celebration of the summer solstice holiday practised 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 2011 , but not without due respect for the calendar 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, 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 / him or others and is void where prohibited by law, and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher. The 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 new wish at the sole discretion of the wisher .
I don't know about the 'lassie', but I am female. And thanks Rodger.
Beth.

By the way, this was an email sent to me by my ex husband of 20 years and friend of 40 years.
Sounds like he's trying to stay on my good side, I reckon.

Love it Beth, and the same to you. Why can't I think of something like that when I need it.
There are some clever people around.
Have a great Christmas and hope to see you up that way around April (if I get this campervan purchase thing sorted out)
Merry Christmas to everyone on here.

That would be good Marj. Looking forward to it.

It's so politically correct it's ironically almost offensive.
So I wish you all a great Christmas however and wherever you spend it.
May all your wishes come true, and 2011 be good to you. Cheers Chris
