Merry Christmas ! I would like to take the opportunity to thank you Paul for all your Videos, Patreon activities, and for organizing and running GRIDCON... For so many of us, you make our lives better, more happy and surely more bearable and fun ! I know that a simple thank you is so little to describe how thankful we all are. I am 52 years of age, a father of two and a carer of many and my one and only ADVICE for anyone in the field of "playing or enjoying games" is: IF YOU WANT TO BE HAPPIER IN LIFE, BE A PATRON OF GAMING RULES! As a closing remark, I would also to thank Victoria for all the support she is giving to the channel. If it wasn't for you, the channel would be so much poorer !

Merry Christmas to you and Vicki. Thank you for all your wonderful contributions to this hobby. It’s a better space thanks to you Paul.

[nirszi]

So glad you are all ok health wise. I hope you had a great Christmas and wishing you and Vicky a wonderful 2025.

[obsidiansiriusblackheart]

Sorry to hear about your medical experience. You're keeping on it! Good for you 👍🏻

[rahdo]

yeah dungeon legends is pretty cool, but the total lack of information about how to spend icons "freeform" has to be one of the biggest oversights in a rulebook i've seen in a long time! :)

also very happy that the blemish turned out be to benign! huzzah!

I had a similar "pre-cancer" scare with a spot on my nose and have to follow-up with dermatology every year. But the important thing is to be proactive and advocates for ourselves. Delaying checkups because we fear a diagnosis only makes it worse. Thanks for all your content last year and Happy New Year.

[vinnieyang]

You weren't asking for advice but just in case it helps: stress is a major contributor to so many illnesses and deaths so a bit of nihilism here would help. You can't predict the future and whatever happens, you can only do so much. So do what you can but instead of worrying and stressing over it, enjoy the other things that are worth enjoying.

And Happy New Year!

I'm delighted that you enjoyed playing Bahama Taxi. I felt so miserable from that stupid cold that day and couldn't do anything for real, so that chat and game with you and Zach was the highlight of my Thanksgiving and my birthday.

Happy Christmas, Paul, to you and yours. Thank you so much for all of the hard work you do during the year. It is very much appreciated!

[wendydeklerk]

Merry Christmas Paul to you and yours. That was quite a scare at the beginning of this month. Good thing you got it treated. I hope your mind is at ease about is now. A very happy and healthy 2025! Thank you for everything you do for the boardgame community! Warm regards, Wendy from Rotterdam Netherlands

[diegoghesini]

Thanks for the Anno rules work on BGG everyone that work on them.

[Resilio]

Happy holidays Paul, and thanks for a great and interesting video as always 👍😊 If it's a dice cup just beside the lamp, I want one 😃

[frankhechtner]

Thanks for this wonderful Christmas Vlog. Now, I learned that Dorf Romantik is cooperative. Besides this, I am happy to hear, and maybe that's the best Christmas gift for you; there's nothing serious with that dark point on your skin. Thanks for talking about it.
I wish you a happy Christmas. Thanks for a fantastic year of GR content. Best frank

[Coramoor]

Sounds like it was a good month. Thanks for the update.

btw, I have a house rule in the solo mode of Terraforming Mars: I do a draft with two sets of 4 cards, picking one card of the first set and then discarding (randomly) one of the other set, before picking the second card (from that other set, and so on, until I have 4 out of 8 cards in hand to choose from for the round.. 😅
