🔴 UPDATE: As of 8pm, the error appears to have been resolved. 112-minute average wait at present. Much more reasonable!

🎄 Everyone is bedded down for another year. One by one the twinkling lights on the houses flicker off.  Preparation done and a few hours sleep before the little footsteps come running to ask if it's too early to go downstairs yet.  At least they still ask.  1/
