Snagged from a comment on VodkaPundit [who is now a father, by the way] [oh, and who really goes for folk remedies for things we have good evidence we can do safely? Ok, the baby's 2 weeks late, time to start stimulating her nipples. Um, no.] :
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 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 2005, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of
other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make our world
great, and without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical
ability, religious faith, choice of computer platform, or sexual
preference of the wishee.
