I’m really glad people are getting cool gifts for Christmas (Merry Christmas, by the way), including weighted blankets… but this isn’t the appropriate place to share that story.
The mods don’t like doing mod work like removing rule breaking comments and banning people, so if you could chip in to help us out by not making those comments so we can go back to being lazy on Christmas that’d be great. Thank you.
Edit: Sorry guys, tired of banning people and deleting rule breaking comments on Christmas. Thread locked now.
