 With December comes back a beloved Perl tradition: the Advent calendars.
In other seasonal news, Christmas is getting ever closer for Perl 6. And on
a slightly more "bah humbug"ish note, the various Perl-related Kickstarters
aren't doing so well right now. But hey, this season is known for its
miracles, so... we never know. In the meantime, enjoy! ~ `/anick
