To All My Liberal-Democrat Friends:
Please accept with no obligation, implied or explicit, 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 2010, 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 nor the
only America in the Western Hemisphere. Also, this wish is made without
regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith
or sexual preference of the wish.
To My Conservative-Republican Friends:
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
The Anuzis Family
Lina & Saulius
Matas, Tadas, Vytis & Marius
And to all our Jewish friends – Happy Hanukkah – I hope you enjoy the holiday season!
Update: The Detroit Free Press “liked” our greeting and published it online and in the Sunday edition.
