Festive Period Open Thread

Coverage will be a bit slow over the next couple days, as we all take time to hang out with our families, open presents, eat turkey and all that stuff.  So, while Santa might deliver a match preview tomorrow, he also might not; consider this a thread to talk about the West Ham match, any other Premiership Christmas-period action, and, well, anything else that sounds interesting until actual content resumes being produced in a few days.  Holiday plans, favorite gifts, whatever!

I also want to use this space, on behalf of everyone here, to thank all of you for helping make The Short Fuse an awesome place to hang out and talk about Arsenal.  The site has grown quite a bit in the last year or so, in both readership and authorship, and I know I for one wouldn't be doing this if I didn't love interacting with TSF's intelligent, engaged, and involved readers and my fellow authors.
