I’m feeling stuck and hoping things will change for the better.

Pausing only pushes the problem away for a short time. People need student loan debt canceled.

D&D Beyond had an advent calendar that included one special item or offer each day. If I remember correctly, the calendar didn’t include the entire month of December. The things in it that caught my attention the most were the coloring sheets.

Kitchen Scramble App: North Pole

The town of North Pole has a winding road going through it. Along the road, there are several levels the player must complete. Oversized cupcakes are off to the side, and there is a giant snow globe. A silhouette of Santa and his three reindeer that pull the sleigh is over the moon.

North Pole is an “extra” town in Kitchen Scramble. It appears in December, and is only around for a limited time. This town (that you can ignore if you want to) is decorated for Christmas.
