No matter how slight or daft the thing is, what really matters is that we do it together.

Skeal is a downhill skiing game.

The moon is big and bright, snow is falling, and the slopes are calling.

It’s short, it’s fun, and it’s free.

And you agree not to keep reading downwards, because you trust me?

Oh, I did not expect to be crying by the end of that.

This is new to me with Skeal.

It’s been a hard few years, certainly.

And yes, I’vebeen listening to Christmas Pain In Christmas Town after waking up crying one day.

Well, merry Christmas, everyone.

But that’s a good thing about traditions: they’re stable.

My power, my pleasure, my pain.

So this is where I am this year, huh?

Let’s see about next Christmas.

Here’s another good thing about traditions: you’re not doing them alone.

We are here together, and we’ve still a few wee traditions to go.

I don’t like Skeal all that much.

“I don’t like Skeal.

But I do love Skeal.

Its continued success is proof of that, to me.

Statistically speaking, at least one person has downloaded and played Skeal since I started writing this article.”

Thank you for the game, Nick.
