Hello
Merry Christmas to you everyone who celebrates it on the 24th (mostly Scandinavia I think). I know that a lot of people don't even celebrate Christmas, and personally I celebrate it January 7th, but since I know the date I figured I'd mention it. I'd love to hear what other holidays you celebrate at this time of year, so write me an email and let me know. Also my apologies for missing the issue yesterday. I thought I was getting sick and wanted to rest, but it's actually some sort of allergic reaction to something in my room, and I have no idea what it is. Oh well. I sent a message in the Discord server but refrained from sending an email because it seems unnecessary and spammy. Just join the server if you want updates in the future or to chat. Anyway, here's the issue.
