1. So here we are in December already, most will be thinking about Christmas and all that it brings, and for those who follow a different path and/or faith then may I take this opportunity to wish you all Happy Holidays all the same. I sincerely hope you all have a wonderful time with your family & friends at this special time of year. And for our North American friends I hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving day recently and you had a great time with all your family.

2. Snow on site.
If you haven''t noticed, in the holiday spirit, we have added a snow animation to the site! Hopefully your enjoying this, and not finding it bothersome. If for whatever reason your not a fan of the snow, it''s easily disable in your Profile page here.

There is also a Christmas theme if you wish to use it you will find this on your profile page

3. December And January Double Donations Reward.
December is a special month and we thought why not double the rewards for donations? As an added bonus this year we are going to carry this on till the end of January :-) So, if you have donated this month and the next, just post in [this] thread (Amount, in case you wish to brag about it) and get double the standard reward for donations!
