On behalf of the Reynolds family, along with our amazing BangShift.com sponsors, I’d like to wish all of our friends and readers a very Merry Christmas. We also send a hearty Season’s Greetings from all the BangShift Contributors, who have given their weekends and evenings to us in pursuit of great content and coverage. Out here in Texas we’re getting our bacon on this Christmas thanks to the guys at American Powertrain, who hooked us up with kick ass Benton’s Bacon. You can get yours still during their BACONshift sale, don’t foerget. McTaggart will be hanging around with the family and enjoying some good food served up potluck-style. Meanwhile I’ll be enjoying some Early Times in honor of Gray Baskerville while enjoying a day with family as well. We hope that you too will be enjoying great food and drink with family and friends. After all, that’s what the holidays are all about.

We’re going to assume that, since you are BangShifters, you’ve been both naughty and nice this year, but in a recent conversation with Santa, he told me that you just needed to be mostly nice and that even Santa was naughty every once in a while according to Mrs. Claus. Last year we encouraged you to start, or carry on, a family tradition. Our favorite is the Christmas Burnout tradition, and we’re hoping you’ll send us links to the videos again this year.

To those members of the armed services defending our country and protecting the freedoms that we hold so dear, we also wish you and yours the best on this Christmas. Your sacrifice does not go unnoticed by us, and the wonderful readers here at BangShift.com. We hope that wherever you are you feel our gratitude and respect.

For those of you who have lost a loved one this year, remind those around you to take full advantage of those that are still with us. Family is the most important thing, and we consider each of our dedicated readers to be part of the BangShift family. Your well wishes this holiday season mean the world to us. Thank you.

Have a very Merry Christmas!
