‘Twas the night before the 23rd
And all through the website
Not a creature was stirring
Not even a rabite
Merry December 23rd, one and all! We’ve finally made it to the last major holiday of the year—one celebrated by cultures throughout the world since times immemorial.
And it’s a big one! I’m pretty sure this is the largest holiday we have on record here on “This Day in GameCola History“, and for reasons that will be clearly apparent by the time you finish reading. So get started, and happy holiday to you!
