Firstly, a disclaimer:
Greetings, Recipients
I wanted to send some sort of Christmas greeting to my friends and
relatives and fellow Swaggers, 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 his 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 )
Name withheld ( Privacy Act ).
Now that that's done with, A very merry christmas to all.
Safe and happy journeys to those that are travelling
Matt
