<shamelessly filched from an anonymous poster on the Internet>

From me ("the wishor" ) to you ("hereinafter called the wishee" ): Please
accept without obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an
environmentally conscious, socially responsible, politically correct, low
stress, non-addictive, gender neutral, celebration of the winter solstice
holiday, (or summer solstice in the southern hemisphere) 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
persuasions and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice
religious or secular traditions at all... and a financially successful,
personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset
of the generally accepted calendar year 2004, but with due respect for the
calendars of choice of other cultures or sects, and having regard to the
race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith, choice of
computer platform or dietary preference of the wishee.

By accepting this greeting you are bound by these terms that-

This greeting is subject to further clarification or withdrawal

This greeting is freely transferable provided that no alteration shall be
made to the original greeting and that the proprietary rights of the wishor
are acknowledged.

This greeting implies no promise by the wishor to actually implement any of
the wishes.

This greeting may not be enforceable in certain jurisdictions and/or the
restrictions herein may not be binding upon certain wishees in certain
jurisdictions and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wishor.

This greeting is warranted to perform as reasonably may be 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.

The wishor warrants this greeting only for the limited replacement of this
wish or issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion of the wishor

Any references in this greeting to "the Lord", "Father Christmas", "Our
Savior", or any other festive figures, whether actual or fictitious, dead or
alive, shall not imply any endorsement by or from them in respect of this
greeting, and all proprietary rights in any referenced third party names and
images are hereby acknowledged

Raise a cup in celebration of longer days! Best wishes.

That clause (would that be a Santa Clause?) seems to give you total
filching permission. Nothing shameless about it

Wow Stan, what do you suggest I put in the cup?
Remember it needs to be non addictive.

On the other hand......nothing addictive to a single malt is there?

Cheers!

I'm partial to a good strong winter ale. I have a case of Long Trail
Hibernator to take me through the holidays. And a good 15 year old single
malt to back that up.

Merry Christmas to you, too.

Same to you, my friend. And since you have a case of very fine ale and some 15
YO OPS, I love you, man!

You might find some of the better barleywines attractive, too.

This Atkins diet is killin' me-- no beer, but as much of the hard stuff as
I want.

I have forwarded your greeting to my legal advisors at Dewey, Cheatam, and
Howe, for clearance prior to answering. Since they are unlikely to render a
decision prior to the Vernal Equinox, let me tentatively wish you an acceptable
solstice within the parameters you previously stated.
