My attempt

Dear Friends,

wanted to send out some sort of holiday greeting to my friends, but
it is so difficult in today’s world to know exactly what to say without
offending someone. So I met with my attorney today, and on his advice
(and after $1,200. in attorneys fees) I wish to say the following:

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes
for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress,
nonaddictive 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.

I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling, and
medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally
accepted calendar year 2005, 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 or is the only “AMERICA” in
the western hemisphere), and without regard to the race, creed, color,
age, physical ability, religious faith, 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…

Disclaimer: No trees were harmed in the sending of this message,
however, a significant number of electrons were inconvenienced
