MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM ONE CITIZEN SPEAKING 2023
To all my readers… Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
I'd like to take this opportunity to wish you and your loved ones the very best for the coming Holiday Season.
To everyone else…
Please accept with no obligation, expressed or implied, 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 2023, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. This is, of course, neither to suggest nor imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country; also, this is not to imply that "America," as noted herein, is the only America in the Western Hemisphere. May these heartfelt wishes be received with equal intensity regardless of distribution of individual wealth, documented carbon footprint, or perceived social privilege among the wishes addressed herein. This wish is made without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith, or sexual preference of the wish.
Enjoy!
Happy Holidays...
Let us, for a moment, forget the political and financial catastrophes that have befallen our nation and concentrate on family and friends.
And most importantly, let us not forget those who have protected our nation and who stand watch over our celebration.
