(Timidly) Wishing You and Yours the Best

This year, as usual, my wife was asked to design her company's holiday card. Generally, she's asked to create a "non-religious" greeting. Sensible enough. This year, though, the directions call for a card that is "non belief system specific." Oddly enough, this construction makes the task itself more ambiguous, though perhaps more interesting. How do you skirt around affirmation of any particular belief system, secularism included, while evoking warmth and merriment? Maybe with a caption along the lines of "Thor rest ye merry gentlemen, hear Kokopeli play, Remember Christ our savior, a dredel's made of clay..."
