Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for 
an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, 
non-addictive, and 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 and/or secular persuasions and/or traditions
of others, or within their choice not to practice religious or secular 
traditions at all.

Similarly, please accept my best wishes for a fiscally successful, 
personally fulfilling, and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset 
of the Gregorian calendar year 2004, 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 or is the only "AMERICA" in the western 
hemisphere), and without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical 
ability, religious faith, or sexual preference of the wishee.

In accepting this greeting, you are agreeing to accept the following terms:

A. This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal.

B. It is freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting.

C. It implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the 
wishes for her/himself or others, and is revocable at the sole discretion 
of the wisher.

D. The included wishes are 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.

E. Liability under this warranty is limited to replacement of this wish or 
issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion of the wisher.

This greeting and its wishes are void where prohibited by law.
