Just a brief housekeeping note before we get to the weekly roundup: We have family in town for the holidays, so in an effort to spend more time with them, there will be no article here this upcoming Monday. The publishing schedule will return to normal on Wednesday though.
I hope you’re all enjoying your holiday season!

Happy Christmas!
