This evening I encountered a Christingle for the first time. How the English conquered the world I will never understand. Have a lovely Christmas friends, it’s hard out here but I love you and I’m glad to know you.

I wondered why we’d suddenly got so many hits on our App Store page - seems we’ve been added to the Coming Soon list 👀

If you haven’t preordered yet, it’s free and helps us with getting the algorithm to be nice to us! www.playdwg.com
