This was sent to Cass at the store, and pretty much sums up the world today and is pretty sad if you think about it, but at the same time it made me laugh.
"Holiday Wishes Disclaimer"
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 winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religiouspersuasion of your choice, 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 2008, 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 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.

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.
I wish I could just tell someone Merry Christmas, I do say Happy Holidays and just hope that I don't offend anyone, ands if I do then I'm sorry but do they ever think that they are offending me by making me change my life and the way I celebrate, because if I don't say anything people think I'm a bitch, and this season that's how I fell, I just can't seem to find the Christmas spirit in myself, and that makes me sad. I love this time of year I love the look on poeples faces when they open thier gifts, I love shopping guilt free (because it's for other people).
Well you guys asked for it, you wanted to know what was going on.

jason loves that, it will be our holiday card for next year. it really depends on the community you are in as to how careful you have to be. i'd say in inner loop houston it is downright rude to be "merry christmas" because my kids last year were like 50/50 jewish, christian and a smidgie of muslims. i think happy holidays says it all.
great one!
we have a lot of jehovah's witnesses. always tend to offend a few... but then again, how would we know. and i don't take offense to you not wishing me happy whatever. ah, the joys of pc ness...
While shopping the other day, the girl at the checkout counter said "merry christmas" to me, and then quickly corrected herself and said "happy holidays". I told her that "merry christmas" was just fine, as I am not ashamed of my religion.
What has this world come to?!?!
