Laugh of the Day

Dec 20th, 2008 by

I don’t know why Scott didn’t post this here, but he didn’t, so I decided to link to it.

    Sorry, Kate. I guess I didn’t because it isn’t specifically Anglican. Next time I find some religious-but-not-specifically-Anglican humour, I’ll post it here, too. You have been warned. :-)

    What I don’t get is how a Christmas tree can be called a Holyday tree and still be politically correct? (maybe I should just keep my mouth shut)

    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 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 persuasions and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all; and a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling, and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2009, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures, and without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith, choice of computer platform, or sexual preference of the wishes.

    By accepting this greeting, you are accepting these terms. This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It is freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting. It implies no 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 subsequent holiday greeting, whichever comes first, and warranty is limited to replacement of this wish or issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion of the wisher.

    Thanks Cathy (#5),
    I feel so personally blessed by your best wishes ;)
    And it is always helpful to the recipient to know the exact terms of the wishes: I know that my children always appreciate it when I say “I love you, but …. ”

    And if you believe any of the above, you may be interested in this bridge out here that I have to sell (its covered with some white stuff- due to global warming I think).

    Seriously, I pray that all readers of this site will be filled with joy and wonder at the celebration of the birth of our saviour Jesus and that the writers to this site (all of us) will be given wisdom and and a double portion of charity (particularly for me)!

    Cathy -

    That is too funny! Political correctness gone mad.

    Douglas Todd, writing in the Vancouver Sun (see url below), has an interesting interview with people from 4 faith traditions. Only the atheist opposed celebrating Christmas. Those from other faiths seemed to quite enjoy it. In fact, the Sikh was surprised by the tolerance of Christians for the secularization of our religious holy day. She said she would be offended if that were to happen to a Sikh holy day.

    Nice isn’t it? Christians are so willing and ready to share even their holy days.
