Alright, kiddies, off to bed with you. News is slow this week, so you’ll be able to catch up in the morning. Hopefully Santa will come visit your house, but as you can see, Gizmodo noticed that Emperor Palpatine decided to capture him and take over Christmas. So maybe the “big guy” sneaking into your house will be Darth Vader tonight, I don’t know. Anyway, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from all of us at The Tanooki!
