bobbin Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 To All My Liberal Friends: 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 persuasion 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 2010, 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 than any other country nor the only country 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 wish. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ And To My Conservative Friends: Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year in the year of our Lord Jesus Christ 2010.

PeaceBlondie Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 The Amish are far too conservative to be Republicans: anti-abortion, anti-war, pacifists, still speak 18th century German, dress more conservatively than Warren G. Harding's grandparents, horse and buggy...and they celebrate Christmas as Jesus' birthday.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanForbes Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 I accept your Holiday wishes, Bobbin. Thank you from a fellow Canadian. And, any of you who ARE Canadians will understand the humour behind the message. Canadians as a whole bend over backwards not to be offensive to anyone, and very often it's to a point of being ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geriatrickid Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Umm, what about those of us that are not historical revisionists, nor pagans. After all, Jesus being a jew and all was born under a lunar calender and he certainly wasn't born on December 25. Nor can I recall the ancient Christians, most of whom were of devout jew origins celebrating woodland spirits and drinking eggnog around a pagan symbol. I can't see Jesus' family and the all the invitees sitting down for a dinner of ham either at his birth or at his bris. I think there should be a warning label affixed to such greetings as to the unreliability of the sentiments expressed as they are are not based in fact.
