A tiger striped Kitty standing by a little house decorated for Christmas. It has a hat on its head.

The text above says: Here comes Santa Claws (the kind cats have as the pun).
He meows when you are sleeping. He sleeps when you're awake.

If you want a virtual greeting, I can still make it after the 15th. It doesn't have to be a Christmas card, I can make more generalized stuff.

A graphic that says "only 10 days left to request a holiday greeting card from me." There is a pine tree background with greeting cards and red envelopes on the bottom. I'm in the middle with my Christmas shell on.

I'm hopelessly lost in the new Metroidvania from the Hyper Light Drifter devs

Heart Machine's latest misses the mark in balancing player freedom and guided paths, culminating in an aimless adventure.

Song of the day is a hymn that begins our Christmas music. It's not technically a Christmas song, but this does things to me on an emotional level I can't explain.
