Whether it's already Christmas where you are, or just Christmas Eve still, and even if you don't celebrate Christmas (of course, everyone celebrates Nismas!), I wanted to make a post saying how amazing it's been to be part of the Sand Dunes with all of you. This is one of the best online communities I've ever known, and it's absolutely a result of the people who are part of it. You're all awesome and I love you for it! ^_^

I'm especially thankful to have been given the opportunity by all of you to be part of the Council... this is seriously some of the most fun I've had in a long, long time. My family laughs at me (good-naturedly, of course) for being so enthusiastic and intrigued by what I spend my time on in Lords of Minecraft (a result of me telling them all the stuff I get to do), but it's totally worth every minute. Even the part where I spend time planning meetings. I know, I'm weird, lol.

For all of you who call the Dunes home (and all our friends, pals, and visitors!), I hope both your in-game and IRL holidays are wonderful and fun and festive and all that good stuff. I can't wait for the next time I log in, but for now I have to go do the important IRL family things! (As I always say: IRL comes first.)

All the best,
