Subject: The appropriate contexts
Please accept, with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for
an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, non
addictive, gender neutral celebration of the winter/summer solstice
holiday, practised with the most enjoyable traditions of religious
persuasion or secular practices of your choice with respect for the
religious/secular persuasions 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 2007, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other
cultures whose contributions to society have helped make our country great
(not to imply that it is necessarily greater than any other country) and
without regard to the race, creed, colour, age, physical ability, religious
faith or sexual preference of the wishee.

promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for
her/himself or others and Is void where prohibited by law, and is revocable
at the sole discretion of the wisher. This wish is warranted to perform as
expected within the usual application of good tidings for a period of one
year or until the issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion of the wisher.

The kids finally arrived after a 4 hour delay coming in to Heathrow. I’ve already braved the grocery store this morning to get the last essentials we need for Christmas Day (and I experienced violent trolley rage, so definitely no more grocery visits for me until 2007). Today we’re off to London to see The Lion King with the kids and have dinner with Angus’ extended family.
So what I wanted to say is this:
Happy Santa Claus Day to you from me.
Much Love,
H
Go on – just watch this for the NSPCC!
Make me feel loved! Go on! Sign the Guest Map!
Enjoy the holiday! We watched Elf last night, and I thought of you. May the best day that you have seen be worse than the worst that is yet to come.
You are so politically correct! Either way, have a wonderful holiday!
You will all adore “the Lion King”! Have a wonderful time.
This post reminds me of why I heart you. Have a fantastic religious/non religious solstice holiday celebration of your choosing.
Best wishes to you and your family for a safe and happy holiday. May it be filled with lots of joy, lots of food, lots of gifts, and lots of…uh, you know, after the kids go to bed. ;)
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Helen!
Merry Christmas. Happy New Year. Enjoy the kids. Watch Elf again.
Much love

Much love to you and yours, babe. Enjoy The Lion King. It will inspire the kind of awe that is totally Christmas-appropriate.
Merry Merry, darlin’! Have a wonderful holiday!
Because you YOU, I’m thinking about watching a Will Farrell movie.
I don’t know whether to hug your neck or kick your shin.

So in other words, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Merry Christmas, Helen! May all your gifts be exactly what you wished for… ;)

And your 2007 be better than your 2006.

Merry Christmas to you too! Enjoy every second of it!
Did you get my thank you email for the bear you sent Bridget? I would send a proper mail thank you but I don’t have your address.
I wish you, Angus, and the children a very very Merry Santa Day too! And may 2007 bring all or your hopes and dreams come true. You very much deserve it! Oh and love the post, too funny!
Much love and happiness to you, too, Helen.
Have a lovely one yourself, Helen.
And enjoy the Lion King. I saw it with a friend and her mother in San Francisco and we LOVED it. I think Melissa and Jeff will, too. :D
And to you and yours. All my love! MWAH!
Merry, Merry Christmas, Helen.
Merry Christmas!!!!!
Belated Christmas wishes, Helen. Here’s hoping that 2007 is the best year, ever.

Happy Christmas H … oh, and do you include the Polar Express on your festive movie list?
