Brighten Your Day

To all my Non-Christian, and Liberal Democrat Friends:

Please accept with no obligation, expressed or implied, my best wishes

for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-

addictive, 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 /secular

persuasion 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 2014, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other

cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great.

This is, of course, neither to suggest nor imply that America is necessarily

greater than any other country; also, this is not to imply that "America," as

noted herein, is the only America in the Western Hemisphere.

May these heartfelt wishes be received with equal intensity regardless of

distribution of individual wealth, documented carbon footprint, or perceived

social privilege among the wishees addressed herein. This wish is made

without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith,

or sexual preference of the wishee.

To Everyone Else: Have a Merry Christmas and a

Happy, Healthy, Prosperous, Christian New Year!
