Not "PC" but Stuff It; Merry Christmas!

12/24/2011 3:22 PM

Just thought I'd send out this Xmas cheer to all my CR4 Mates, Compatriots, Associates, Fellow Travellers, Frenemies, Antagonists, and the Boorish and Hostiles (tick one or more as appropriate).

May your celebration of the day bring you happiness and a pleasant break from the grind that is our daily lives.

While there is always promise for the new year lets not forget entirely the hard fought lessons of the year past.

Merry Xmas, God Jul, oh and Happy Hannuka too!

From our friends at Mechanical Design Forum (note that the following message clearly states: "It is freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting.", so this is not plagerism):

A modern engineering holiday greeting to all:

season greetings

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 with
the most enjoyable traditions of 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.

I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically
uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted Gregorian
calendar year 2012, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice
of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make our
country great and without regard to the race, creed, colour, age, physical
ability, religious faith, sexual preference or camera manufacturer of the wisher.

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.

"No trees were harmed in the sending of this message."

But a considerable number of electrons were inconvenienced by it.

Merry Christmas.

Thanks, and the same to you and to all (even including the legal types that encourage and require this style of writing)!

Indeed, an appropriately placed comma could clarify the intent!

Happy holidays and a prosperous new year to all, from Northern California.
