Re: To my Democratic & Republican friends (with tongue firmly planted in cheek)

To my fundamentalist Christian friends,
Please have a good and merry December 25th. I know that there is NO biblical
significance to this date (and many/most celebrations around the birth of the
Christ Child were upon Epiphany, as I recall - not the date of His Birth). May
the entire winter (and year-round) season be filled with joy and progress to
salvation (however, reached).

To my NON-fundamentalist Christian friends,
Merry Christmas (and Happy New Year)

To all others,
Joy, Peace, and Happiness when celebrating and otherwise.
