Merry Christmas to all of our readers! This is not going to be a year-end post (I hope to be put up an AAR of our Yuletide Goblin Slaying next week), but rather a thank you for reading and well-wishes to you and yours.

Gaming here has been slowed by the great press of family activities, but that is not a complaint – family is very important, as are our unique and interesting traditions that we have picked up along the way.

This is the first post in the new theme I’ll be trying out. The menu is still there – just a bit more hidden at the top. I’ll be trying to get the settings correct over the next few weeks. Bear with me (or send me a comment if it’s becoming a nuisance).

On the gaming side, I have managed to get in a game of “A Test of Honour” and found it to be an engaging and easy to learn system. I will be definitely playing that game again soon. Even better, my friend has enough miniatures that the investment to play is just time – what a great deal!

I have friends who are deployed over the holidays, and I know that there are many who are in danger when the rest of us celebrate. Please keep them in mind and let that frame any stresses or problems you may have. As they say, don’t sweat the petty things (or pet the sweaty things).

Enjoy the holidays in whatever tradition you follow and play on!
