To all my liberal friends: Please accept with no 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 tradition 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 of 2024, but not without the due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contribution to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country or the only America in the Western Hemisphere. Also, this wish is made without to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith, or sexual preference of the wish. To all my conservative friends: Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

 

Wouldn't life be worth the living 

Wouldn't dreams be coming true 

If we kept the Christmas spirit

All the whole year through?
