Welcome back!

The first day of December has traditionally been the start of WordMaster's Christmas season, our countdown to the night when Santa Claus comes to town. Of course, whether one is excited about the old elf's imminent arrival all depends on whether one has been a good little boy or girl this year, doesn't it? So let's take some time this week to consider what it might mean to be “naughty or nice!”
