Greetings, loyal readers! The Shadow hopes you are all enjoying the holiday season, drinking eggnog aplenty, stringing up your garland and lights, decorating your tree, hanging your mistletoe, and picking out this year’s yule log. I hope the smell of grandma’s gingerbread men linger in the air next to stockings hanging by the fireplace with your Christmas shopping long behind you. I hope your dining room is much like mine: covered in poinsettias and candy canes that grandchildren are snatching up with every opportunity. 

The Shadow would like you all to know that I am currently on holiday, but I shall return the day after Christmas for another edition. Stay tuned, thank you for reading, and have a very Merry Christmas!

Salutations.
