Season's Greetings

servicepub (RIP) · #1 23-12-04, 19:40

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 religious persuasion of your choice, or 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 2005, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make Canada great (not to imply that Canada is necessarily greater that any other country), and without regard to the race, creed, colour, age, physical ability, religious faith, choice of computer platform, or sexual preference of the wishee.
By accepting this greeting, 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 her/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.
In other words, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhh !!!!! I can't be doing with all that PC crap.

May I wish all my friends across the world, including the far flung outpost called Yass, a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Best wishes,

Ladies and Gents:

Due to time constraints, I cannot be so eloquent as the above posters but let me add my very best wishes for the Holiday Season to all of you. It has been a very good year for the MLU Forum with lots of new members and even better threads and posts that have enriched the knowledge of all of us.

Let us continue and even expand on what we have already accomplished.

A very Merry Holiday Season to All.
Bill

Season s Greetings to you Richard and all at the Mlu forum from that little outpost called Yass . We are all fine at Yass and at least we've had some rain and it won't be so hot this year so we can relax and enjoy the day with our family.

from all at the little outpost in that far flung colony

Service Pub, written by a true Civil Servant, I concur, and wish all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Only if you're flying a Red Ensign...

Clive: thanks for that, have seen it before, but it's grand to be reminded of such gems!

All: Yappy's in the kitchen right now making homemade cabbage rolls (out of my hair at least for a while

), but more importantly, yesterday, as a Christmas present for both, I flew her daughter in from Calgary for the weekend... they hadn't seen each other for a year. It's a pleasure and a privilege to see them together. THIS is what Christmas is supposed to be about. And my own kids will be here tomorrow.

Perfect.

Our best to all of you.

Jesus HC, it is His birthday after all, allegedly.

Is VD/PW gluing all the 50 thou long bits end to end to make a roll?

I'd like to see that.

Merry Christmas. Ah, young Rory Ballard is here, I'm off for a natter and more T. . . . . . . . .

... would be outside greasing the toy, Richard. I imagine a full grease job would take a day or two on that?

Merry Christmas to all from Scotland

Grease!!!! You jest sir, OIL in Stalwart suspension.

Indeed, a full lube job is somewhat time consuming.

And to you and yours Gordon, enough snow up there to run the Tucker?

On a cold and snow less Christmas morning here in New Hampshire, the family has gathered safe and well. So from my family to yours I wish you a Merry Christmas Happy Hanukah and Happy New Year.
