One day before Christmas and we decided to spruce things up a bit. Don't worry... the pathetically cheery decorations will be put away after the holidays. For now, the staff would like to wish everyone a wonderful holiday and may the new year bring you much health, wealth, and happiness. Cheers!

The staff has been immersed in a new story by Crystal entitled, Sins of the Mother. Please give this gal lots of feedback so she'll continue the storyline... we would like to see more ourselves.
