POLITICALLY CORRECT SEASON'S GREETINGS!
We, hereinafter known as the Wishor, hereby request that you, hereinafter known as the Wishee, accept (not that we are putting you under compulsion; you are free to accept or reject) with no obligation, implied or implicit, our best wishes (not to imply that our wishes are any "better" than anyone else's wishes) for an environmentally-conscious, socially-responsible, high self-esteem, low stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of (pick one or more than one) "Christmas," "Chanukkah," "Kwanzah," "Winter Solstice," (or another term or terms of your choice, not that you are required to pick any if that is your choice) practiced within the most enjoyable traditions (solely as you define "enjoyable") of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular,faiths/beliefs, persuasions/inclinations, feelings and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all, or their choice not to make a choice.
And we also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling, and medically uncomplicated (not to imply that you are not already successful, fulfilled and healthy) recognition of the onset of what is generally accepted in the Western world as the calendar year 2005, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped to make America great (not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country or is the only "AMERICA" in the Western Hemisphere, nor even to convince you that America is great if you choose to believe otherwise, since we recognize that the word "great" is subjective), and without regard to the race, creed, color, age, gender, physical ability, religious faith, weight, sexual preference or choice of computer platform of the Wishee.
As the Wishee, by accepting this greeting, you are also accepting these terms: This greeting is subject to clarification, or withdrawl. It is freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting. It implies no promise by the Wishor 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 Wishor. 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 Wishor.
Ed Note: the above was sent to me by a business colleague and I thought it to be quite amusing as well as also being a very sad commentary on a poisonous trend in this country!

The purpose of a holiday greeting is to promote good cheer. It is in the best interest of the whishor to use the appropriate greeting such the wishee gets a good cheer. This is good business.
The people upset about not being able to use Merry Christmas and also the ones that get upset when Moslems use the words Allah and God interchangeably. You can not have you cake and eat it to.
