Christmas: we're calling it

Before I descend into writing stories about some mad woman that called the police because her son was playing GTA in the middle of the night, I'm going to stop for Christmas.

As you've no doubt noticed, our post-rate's dropped off steadily over December: Steph's taking a well-earned rest; Nathan's doing whatever it is Texan students do over the Holidays; Johnny's getting ready to start full-time in January, and I've got a houseful of screaming people. This year's dead to us.

If anything earth-shattering happens over the next couple of weeks I'll stick it up. If not, I'll hibernate. I want to say a giant thank you to all our readers. You've given us amazing support this year, and it's not really possible to tell you how grateful I am. We're here to stay, and it's all thanks to you.

We'll be back at full power on January 4, 2010. Please have a brilliant holiday. See you next year!
