Hey everyone, its that time of year again! The winter season is upon us, and the weather shows it! Unless of course you live in the southern hemisphere or in some tropical region in which case; screw you you prick (jk :D). Anyway, as I was saying, the winter season is here, its cold, its windy, and the season of giving and receiving has come. The economy is getting a temporary boom, and this year is pretty interesting. The Nintendo Wii is named the most sought out item of the holiday season again this year, which doesn't come too big of a surprise to me, as I'm still looking for one as well. With the Chinese toys incident in America, I'm interested to see how the sales of many toys (namely from companies like Hasbro which ship overseas in that area) are going to do this year. Either way I'm pretty sure this year is going to be interesting.

Like I said, this is the Month of Giving, so why not give to Newgrounds and make an animation? Go off to Adobe's website, grab a trial of Flash and make something to celebrate the holiday. It doesn't need to be the best, but put some effort in, learn something and most importantly, have fun! There is a winter preloader if I'm not mistaken in the downloads page of Newgrounds, so that shouldn't be a problem, and there is a fantastic audio portal filled with a variety of music to use. Come on Newgrounds, you can do it!

Great job to the staff at Newgrounds on the fantastic new theme for the winter. I for one like the blue on black a bit more than the orange, and think it would be cool as an alternate theme for throughout the year honestly. I really like the ice sculpture drawings of Dad and Me the most, they are pretty awesome.

More importantly people... This is a time to spend with family. Spend some time with yours, tell them you love them, and get along as best as you can. Sure, they may not be perfect, but they are the only one you have and you should respect them as much as you can.

Well Gee, this was a pretty long post for me, not used to this. Well, this about wraps things up I guess. Until Next time, ScrewdriverClock, out!
