Dear Friends & Relatives.
I wanted to send some sort of Christmas / New Year greeting, but it is
difficult in today's world to know exactly what to say without offending
someone.
So I met with my solicitor recently, and on 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 2012, 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 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 the wishee
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)
Name withheld (Privacy Act).”
