HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, our best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, non addictive, gender neutral celebration of the summer solstice holiday, practiced more within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious/ secular persuasion and/or tradition of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. We also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year2008, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make Australia great. Not to imply that Australia is necessarily greater than any other country nor the Australia in the Southern Hemisphere. Also, this wish is made without regard to the race, creed, colour, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishee.

Mal and Di wish you all a very happy and blessed Christmas and a prosperous New Year in the old fashioned way which was the way of our fathers and hopefully that of our sons and daughters.
