Some much needed Christmas cheer!

Then the Tappers in Game Discussion Forum will all cry BooHoo!"
"That's a noise," grinned the Grinch, "That I simply MUST hear!"
So he paused. And the Grinch put his hand to his ear.
And he did hear a sound rising over the snow.
It started in low. Then it started to grow.
But the sound wasn't sad! Why, this sound sounded merry!
It couldn't be so! But it WAS merry! VERY!
He stared down at the Forum! The Grinch popped his eyes!
Then he shook! What he saw was a shocking surprise!
Every Tapper in the forum, the tall and the small,
Was sharing images! Without any unique freemium presents at all!
He HADN'T stopped Christmas from coming! IT CAME!
Somehow or other, it came just the same!

And the Grinch, with his grinch-feet ice-cold in the snow,
Stood puzzling and puzzling: "How could it be so?"
"It came with out free buildings! It came without new levels!"
"It came without a playable Helen Lovejoy, Maggie or Maple Store!"
And he puzzled three hours, till his puzzler was sore.
Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before!
"Maybe Christmas," he thought, "doesn't come from a game."
"Maybe Christmas...perhaps...means a little bit more!"
