    A Politically Correct Christmas Greeting
    December 25, 2009 by Dan Mitchell

    "To My Normal Friends: Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

    To All My Left-Wing 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 wishes."


    For the non-politically correct

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

      In the words of Wolfie in the British Comedy Series:-

      "Power to the People"; and a Happy New Year.

        Naturally, I had to go find Wolfie. Here is my introduction to him: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00gwxhk

        It brought a nice smile to a lazy Sunday afternoon. And in that sense, a place named Tooting . . . a Popular movement of Tooting . . . Good stuff.

        Of course, with my bias, and since that trailer lampoons a Leftist concept, I will probably be looking at more Citizen Smith stuff. :-)

          Good clip, yeah 'Citizen Smith' was a big hit with the British Public.

          Tooting is also real, a suburb of London:-

          The image of Wolfie above was taken standing just outside 'Tooting Broadway Underground Tube Station'

      How exhausting to be in politics,  just keep it simple. Get up and get down and everybody go round and round with joy.
