To My Liberal Democratic Friends:

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, our 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, or secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to observe religious or secular traditions at all.

We also wish you a financially successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the generally accepted calendar year 2007, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures.

To My Conservative Republican Friends:

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
and may God bless you and yours in 2007.

P.S. Denna anknyter till föregående insändare (bekanta toner). Det är inte den politiska tillämpningen i USA som är min poäng, om detta kan delade meningar råda, utan den substans som ingår.
