I wanted to send some sort of Christmas greeting to my friends and family, 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 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 2013, 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 wishees.

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.

Best Regards (without prejudice)

Merry Christmas :lol: ..
 
Nicely done Stevebuk, but your solicitor should have pointed out that it's the WINTER solstice, not summer that approaches, unless of course you live down under, in which case I suppose you are correct and I withdraw my comment unreservedly.

Oh, and (almost forgot), a Merry Christmas to you.

Given that he says, in the third paragraph ....... 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) ....... I think you are correct in assuming that this originated down under.

:ho2 :ho2 :ho2 :ho2
 
Yes, but his location is Nottinghamshire.

It must be weird though, if you are a Southern Hemisphere resident, having Christmas in mid summer. I wonder if they send cards showing acres of sandy beaches, sandcastles and bikini clad girls instead of snow scenes.

And what does Santa ride in?

My brother lives in Sydney and heads off to Noosa on the sunshine coast every boxing day for a couple of weeks on the beach and 30 deg temps. I've been there a couple of times and it's a beautiful place so I'm green :mrgreen:

Santa still comes down the chimney btw :lol: and his sled is pulled by roos.
