In general, a company, organization, etc. sending out "happy holiday" emails to their entire lists on December 22-25th tends to feel like "we only thought of this now that it's almost Christmas." However, I got one this morning that feels as though the sender realizes that there are a lot of holidays: it says "Happy holidays, we're counting down to the New Year" and then talks about upcoming shows.
N.B. This was prompted in part by a friend's post on the subject, but feels better here than as a comment in her journal. Also, I am quite happy to get greetings from my friends, includingwhumpdotcom's fine "Peace on Mars" card, "Season's Greetings," or indeed "Merry Christmas" from my Christian friends, and new year's cards at the appropriate time in the autumn. browngirl, your card made my day.

A deep-sea fish, Dolichopteryx longipes, uses mirrors to focus light on its retina. Every other sighted vertebrate (and that's most of us) known uses lenses.
