    Default A Merry Christmas To All

    Sadly modernised.....actual author unknown.

    On behalf of myself, I desperately want to convey seasonal greetings to everyone without offending any human under Section 18c (thanks ALP!) of the Racial Discrimination Act.

    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 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 2019, 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.

    Disclaimer: No trees were harmed in the sending of this message; however, a significant number of electrons were slightly inconvenienced.
    The fact that there's a highway to hell and a stairway to heaven says a lot about the anticipated traffic flow.

    You do realise that this is still sexist! I've highlighted the offending words. There are those who cannot make up their mind, too, what sort they want to be, you've made no reference to them either

    Meantime have a MERRY (hic!) Christmas and a Happy (hic!) New Year! Which, in this household, begins exactly 7 days after CHRISTMAS!
    I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...
