Happy Time of Year

Dear Hugh,

A curious beginning for what follows!  ;-)

This is about as politically-correct as one could ever
hope to be. Do you mind if I use it in my own season's
greetings? Do you require users to give credit to the
author (you)? Are you using Creative Commons licence?

It is the FIRST time that I have ever seen a greeting
that is so rock-solidly protected against any lawsuit

And to you, Hugh. I've got a huge grin on my face, and
I chuckled as I read your post. Thanks for the laughs!
