I'd have to go with happy festivus! I'm going to practice the feats of strength with my wife tonight.  |

Here's hoping (for her sake) that you master them soon!

here's an e-mail I received....
For My 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, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. We also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2006, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere. And without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishee. By accepting these greetings 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 herself or himself or others, and is void where prohibited by law and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher. 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 wisher."

The first part is funny cause it does apply to Democrats. But when it gets into all the legalistic stuff it would be just as applicable if not more so to Republicans. |

Actually, the faction of the GOPers in control now would like to impose a theocracy if they could find any preachers who could keep their pants zipped long enough...and some politicians who could keep their hands out of the till. Fortunately, they are batting .000. |

What about Season's Greetings? Too many expressions to use it's getting kind of old. My parent's sent me a christmas card with Season's Greetings even though i'm catholic and I've always said Merry Christmas and that's what she wrote on the inside. Anyways, the above mentioned expressions are fine, Season's Greetings or Happy Holidays seem to be the two mainstream ones now..
OR
We can add one that seems to be all over Korea : Marry Christmas!  |

| In your personal life say what you want. Maybe stores and government should be neutral, though, kind of like religious symbol bans in French schools. |
