Just in case :)

I have been " hanging around " with Matt and the merry folk here for around 3 1/2 years and have made many good friends and I think have probably insulted a good deal more, so, and for that reason I have included below my official seasons greetings to you all, and have made a real effort this year to make amends for past wrongs

Happy holidays

Please accept with no obligation, implied or expressed, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, non addictive, gender neutral, celebration of the holiday* of your choice on or about the winter solstice, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the 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, and 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 to make America great (not to imply that America is
greater than any other country or is 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.

If this is how you talk to your friends, I wonder how you'd talk to your enemies! Merry Belated Christmas John!
