Puzzle Notes

Hi friends: 

Aimee Lucido brings us something fun and seasonal this week. It's called "The Holiday Spirit," and is 2.5/5.

AND THEN sometime in the next few days, we'll have a free bonus 21x21 from one of my favorite constructors on the planet, Elizabeth Gorski. This is the second year in a row Liz has been gracious enough to run a holiday puzzle with us. Proud! Then, as a finale for 2015, next week's puzzle will run on Thursday, December 31, rather than the usual Wednesday. The reason for the shift in date will become apparent; can't say more yet, but sit tight.

Don't forget that the AVCX makes a lovely holiday present!. Just click here to buy a subscription as a gift--set it up with immediate delivery, or specify a future start date of your choice.

Then there's this deal, too: if you know anyone who might want to try the AVCX, but doesn't want to drop $20 for the full year, send them here for a deal (good through December) that's just $3 for 3 months of the AVCX.

All of that is pretty alright!
