the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2009, 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. Also, this wish is made without regard to the race,
creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of
the wishee.

To my BotLs and SotLs with a brain:
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
As PC as this is, I'm sure that some would be offended that this is only in english!
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!

If you so desire, I will take it that way. And gladly.
I would hope that you also understand my point?
