So these days, I'm pretty well known for my web site and book, the True Stella Awards. Yet long before that, way back in 1995, I had an awareness of how silly things were getting. This was the actual Christmas/Hanukkah/whatever card that I sent out. (The important part isn't the cover, of course, but the inside):
Outside:
Inside:

Further, the Receiver Releases and Holds Harmless the Sender for any Paper Cuts or any Other Injury, Real or Imagined, that the Receiver may incur as a result of Any Act relating to this Card, Including (but not Limited to) its Creation, Delivery, Reception, Handling, Reading, Display or Disposal.Further, the Sender disclaims that the Card, or its Cover Illustration, represents a Preference for Race, Age, Cultural Identity, Sexual Identity, Gender, or Religion, or Lack Thereof, and Further the Sender Positively Affirms any Preference the Receiver may Have (or Lack) for any of these Items or for any other Identity or Desire.
In Addition, it should be Noted that any Local Taxes, Registration Fees, or any other Cost shall be Borne by the Receiver. Your Mileage may Vary. Not Transferable.

Try to Have a ...uh... Happy Holiday Anyway
