Dear Odders,
I hope you're all feeling the ice in the air and enjoying the New Year vibes. Something about this time of the year is magical - what with the sudden urge for sweetmeats, a tree with baubles, the smell of baked goods and all those Hallmark movies! How could the Odds stay away (poppin out with some beach vibes to mess with ya!)
​
Add this issue to your winter to-do-s 'coz its gonna be so worth it people!

Here's bringing you Oddity 27, touched by holiday spirit and good old odd magic.
Drumroll please...
