+# Season’s Greetings - December 2025
+
+As the year winds down, a sincere thank-you to everyone who’s made Thunix feel like a real community and not just “a server with accounts.” Whether you’re here for SSH, web hosting, email, or the other UNIX-y odds and ends, we’re glad you’re part of this little corner of the internet.
+
+If you’re taking some quiet time over the holidays, consider doing something wonderfully low-pressure: update your `~/public_html`, publish something on Gopher, poke at the Gemini capsule (`gemini://thunix.net`), or just hang out with us on IRC (`irc.newnet.net:6697` in `#thunix`). No algorithms, no shouting, just people making things.
+
+However you spend the season: take care of yourself, be decent to each other, and we’ll keep doing our best to keep Thunix stable, secure, and fun.
