III. ADVENT.

There's almost no chance of a white Christmas at Cold Spring Shops headquarters.  The street is pretty well decorated all the same.

Despite the ongoing war with Ukraine, there are Polar Express-type operations on Russian metals.  Better not be on the naughty list, you might be counting trees in Siberia for a quarter century!

This time of year, though, it might be wise to have the Saint come rolling in.

That's a retro-kitbashed Saint.  If you could start with the Saint diagram and engineer the Halls, why not start with a Hall and reverse-engineer a Saint?

Remember to keep playing nice after next week.
