Happy New Year!

Dear Settlers,

Your townsfolk are gleefully singing carols under the sparkling Gift Christmas Tree, while your Settler families bask in the warming glow of the Christmas Market. It really is the perfect time of year. Just as you think it couldn't get any better, you notice some gifts under your Christmas tree from none other than BB_Santa himself!

Warm wishes for this festive season and happy holidays!
