Yes, please. I need a puzzle to re-align my brain cells.

Deal. If folks aren't too busy, let's do a game for the season... Turkeys, clydesdales in the snow, impeachment pie, gnomes (I actually don't know if gnomes are Christmas'y. I just like gnomes).

If @honeyed chicken wants a break, I could host the next one*. *It would be a fast one. There would be scoring based on speed of entry, as an incentive to be quick. Names will be bolded for completed tasks , as a form of public shaming.

Wow, some gorgeous drawings! Can't wait to find out who drew what. I'm guessing the reference to Joshua Felix Chan was Bucky Thanks to @honeyed chicken for hosting

All good. Need a few more days of recovery, but all is fine. Thank you.

The seed is strong

Hello, everyone. I'm back. I guess you've met my daughter? Hope she did well. I'll check totals and stuff tomorrow. Thank you to all for your kind wishes. All is well.
