I'm writing this first and foremost to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, or whatever you do or do not celebrate! I hope you have the chance to spend time with loved ones, eat good food, or just take a break for a moment.

I myself will be taking off for the rest of the word and, in fact, including January 1rst, going back to work on things starting Tuesday the 2nd of January! If I have already started your piece by now, I will be trying to finish things when possible, but I will not be starting new work until the new year has passed.
