Merry, or happy (in case you think that merry
always proceeds Christmas) whatever event in your
faith or belief or ethnographic or social or personal
system that you may be celebrating at this
particular time of the year relating to your personal
mythology, although please do not take the use
of mythology as demeaning in categorizing
whatever may be the system in which you believe,
or tend to believe, or are curious about. We wish
you peace and happiness, unless that peace and
happiness involves blowing up other people
because your interpretation of your belief system
convinces you, or has led others to convince you,
that such action will take you to whatever paradise
is posited in that belief or mythos system. Please
do not regard that statement as a condemnation of
your beliefs or reason to target us as the means for
your violent access to the aforementioned heaven.
We do wish you (fill in the blank of the proper
deitys name) speed to non-corporeal eternity, but
unaccompanied by those who may not be so
gleeful of such sudden entry.
Oh, and happy New Year, too!
