"Best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low
stress, non-addictive, gender neutral, winter solstice holiday, practiced
within the most joyous traditions of the religious persuasion of your
choice, but with respect for the religious persuasion of others who choose
to practice their own religion as well as those who choose not to practice a
religion at all; plus "a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling, and
medically uncomplicated recognition of the generally accepted upcoming
calendar year, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of
other cultures whose contributions have helped make our society great,
without regard to the race, creed, color, religious, or sexual preferences
of the wishes."
(Disclaimer: This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It
implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for
her/himself or others and no responsibility for any unintended emotional
stress these greetings may bring to those not caught up in the holiday
spirit.)

PS. No need for feedback (notwithstanding any bias, intentional or
non-intentional) toward using this in whole or in part, as a salutory
non-partisan greeting (or non-greeting) for all my friends (or non friends) at The Ville.
