![The Bulletin: A holiday heist, full plates, and a surprisingly busy weekend [Issue #161]](/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fthemain.ghost.io%2Fcontent%2Fimages%2F2025%2F12%2Ftavernenoellpd_1765551666_3786044209204759408_69971862890.jpg&w=3840&q=75)
Season's greetings, Montreal.
We hope you're all enjoying time with friends and family both chosen and genetically tied to you. We hope you're making kids roll their eyes as you try saying "6 7!!!" and that you're either looking upon a massive spread that could feed twice the amount of people present (or making plans to dine out at one of the few places open today). We hope you're able to take some time to yourself, and if you're reading this, we hope you're enjoying having something to read as you recover the exhaustion accumulated over the past month.
Most of all, we hope you know how much it means to us to send this newsletter your way. Having you along for the ride has been—and continues to be—amazing.
