Not original, but it works...

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 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 2007, 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 wishee.

Actually, this is an interesting topic. The only thing I wanted to input is that, having lived in several different countries, I now never feel comfortable limiting myself to a single area. On the other hand, close friends and stability are basic human needs. I want nothing more than to have a "home" that I know I'll be in for at least five years. At the same time, having travelled, I appreciate the Internet because it keeps me from feeling claustrophobic. I think that's one of the reasons I prefer living in the city. I also have the feeling that I went off topic somewhere along the line there...

Ya, it does seem like a big world out there doesn't it? 6 billion going on 7 is a bit overwhelming. But I like to look at it this way:

(Based on certain assumptions, these admittedly very rough stats are different if you don't happen to conform to this)

Only 84% of the 6 billion are unmarried, leaves 5,040,000,000
Only 50% of those are of the opposite sex, leaves 2,520,000,000.
Only 90% of those are straight, that leaves 2,268,000,000.
Only 73% of those have reached puberty (over 14 years), leaves 1,655,640,000.
Only 4.8% of those speak english, that leaves 79,470,720.

Of course there are many other narrowing factors, for instance, if you are gay or lesbian, the stats might look more like 8,830,080.

Another big one would be knocking out those who are currently incarcerated, or otherwise institutionalized. Soon you see that the possibilities are not as overwhelming as it seemed. When you knock the elderly population out of the mix, things start to look truly promising.

In the end though, you will just know.

Best of luck.
