A Merry Christmas to you, BangShifters! We hope that you are enjoying the magic that this day brings, whether young or old. Regardless of whether it’s presents, family time, or the time away from your everyday grind, we hope you are making the most out of your day. Enjoy the early-morning volley of noise as the kids go ballistic for the presents, take the time to sip something hot and comforting, and stay cozy and warm. Listen to the classic songs, enjoy the good foods, and reach out to family and friends who you might not see or talk to often.

If you are one of those who work through the holidays, we tip our hats to you…the nurses, the police, the firefighters, and the service members around the world, thank you for putting in the hours, especially in a year like this one. We appreciate the work you do to provide not only for your family, but to your community as a whole.

We are taking a bit of time with our families for the holidays like we usually do this time of year, so we hope you enjoy some of the year-in-review pieces we’ve chosen. We appreciate you stopping by and hope that Santa left something under the tree that scratches that gearhead itch just so, whether it’s some good parts, or some toys that you and the kids both are going to enjoy for some time to come. And please, feel free to share the tales of the loot with us!

On the behalf of Brian Lohnes, Chad Reynolds, Bryan McTaggart, our families, and the contributors who help make BangShift the place that it is, we wish you the best for Christmas this year. Thank you for being here, thank you for your support, and we’re looking forward to making 2021 the year we want it to be!
