My name is Ramsey, but you may call me: The Puzzleboy. It’s the most wonderful time of the year!
I refer, of course, to the fact that it is the first of the month and it is time for a puzzle. There can be twelve most wonderful times of the year! It’s a twelve-way tie!
However, your most wonderful time of the year might be the end of the month if you manage to achieve immortality within The Puzzleboy Pantheon. But, you’ve got to be in it to win it, so let’s see what’s in store for this month.
Fruitcakes get a bad rap.

A December note! I’ve extended the usual deadline by a day, but my ability to send out my usual “you have two days left to submit” reminder might be hampered, so set your calendars now!

Think of the comment section as a stocking. We only want scratch-off lotto tickets, maybe an orange. No rocks, please.
