Pre End of the Earth Dept: Merry Christmas, et al

Post by Capn Jimbo »

And to et, er al, a good night!


Merry Christmas, Super Solstice, Happy Holidays, Kool Kwanza, Happy Hannuka plus Meri Kurisumasu (Japanese), Hien Gaushing Shengdanjye (Chinese), Maligayang Pasko (Talagalog), Joyeuese Noel (French), Buon Natale (Italian), Feliz Nativadad (Spanish), and Frohe Wiehenacht (German).

But now that transnational corporations rule everything anyway, here's your mega-corporate wishes for the holidays...
"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 or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasions and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all;”

PLUS

a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling, and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great, (not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country or is the only “AMERICA” in the western hemisphere), and without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith, choice of computer platform, or sexual orientation of the wisher.”

(Disclaimer: By accepting this greeting, you are accepting these terms. This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It is freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting. It implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for her/himself or others, and is void where prohibited by law, and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher. This wish is warranted to perform as expected within the usual application of good tidings for a period of one year, or until the issuance of a subsequent holiday greeting, whichever comes first, and warranty is limited to replacement of this wish or issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion of the wisher who assumes no responsibility for any unintended emotional stress these greetings may bring to those not caught up in the holiday spirit.)"

Or how about one from the unemployed 99 percenters...
"I lost my job and life is hard, so all I could afford is this fackin card..."
Merry Christmas!

I hope it was a Merry Christmas at the Cap'n's quarters.

It would have been for me if it weren't for some sinus trouble that knocked me out...and no, a dram of Lagavulin wouldn't have helped either. :(




*******
Capn's Log: It was merry, at least until all the little sniffling kiddies started coughing, poor Sue Sea caught the bug, and is now suffering gastic upset, nausea and vomiting.
