The 12 days of Christmas

We have been quiet, trying to get ready, for Christmas!

You know, that celebration that is now so politically-correct that it cannot be mentioned by some governments across the world, including the United Kingdom.

Well, that is their loss. Season's Greetings indeed! How low can one go in the era of political correctness.

Imagine receiving a card that says this:-

A Politically Correct
Christmas Greeting

Best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, non-addictive, gender neutral, winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most joyous traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, but with respect for the religious persuasion of others who choose to practice their own religion as well as those who choose not to practice a religion at all;

Additionally, a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling, and medically uncomplicated recognition of the generally accepted calendar year 2000, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions have helped make our society great, without regard to the race, creed, color, religious, or sexual preferences of the wishes.

(Disclaimer: This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for her/himself or others and no responsibility for any unintended emotional stress these greetings may bring to those not caught up in the holiday spirit.)

Well, that would just kill it for us here at the Siber Party of Malaysia (M). We want to reclaim Christmas as the celebration to end all celebrations, bar New Year's of course!

In the pursuit of such lofty aims - and apart from drinking our way into 2007 - let us present to our loyal members, the following public service annoucement.




Merry Christmas!
