Merry Christmas everybody. And what a lead up it has been to Christmas it has been this year. The the issues we’ve had with the water supply leading up to Christmas has made it feel like a real old fashioned Christmas, 2 days of frantic present buying, one day of fun then back down the pit.
Hopefully though, now is the time to relax. I say that as I’m bashing out this message at a quarter past midnight on Christmas morning after frantically wrapping, tidying the house and squeezing in the Sky dailies. With luck my kids are too old to get us up excitedly at 4am!
In previous years, I’ve done a short stream on Christmas morning while I cook the Christmas lunch. I’m not planning to do that this year, although it’s possible that I may squeeze in a few minutes if there is some time. However, I decided that it is here that I wanted to say how much I appreciate you all. Streaming has bought me a whole new life, and a whole new circle of friend that I never thought I would have. It’s been so great to meet you all and have the chance to chat, and to share the good, and sometimes the bad, things. I don’t know what I expected when I started streaming, but I knew I needed to do it, and I’m so glad with the way it has turned up.
And remember, Christmas is not an easy time for everyone, but if you have the opportunity, make sure to take some time to connect with your family and friends. It’s the one day a year where there is nothing else to do, so you have some time for that. On the other hand, if you need somewhere to vent, there’s always my discord.
Also, if you do have a small drink, make sure to raise a glass to the mods! We always appreciate you.
