TO ALL MY DEMOCRAT 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 2014, 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 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 wisher.
TO ALL MY REPUBLICAN FRIENDS:
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year in the year of our Lord Jesus Christ
2014.
