From all of the gnomes to all of you, merry Christmas! Here’s our gnomish mascot (well, one of them anyway — I know he has mascot buddies in other gnomish households) settling in a for a little light holiday reading.

The first, The Handmade, Super-Simple Wizard Tower Tile Set, went up yesterday. Whatever holiday you celebrate, we wish you well. Thanks for reading!

Today is Gnome Stew’s fourth birthday — we launched the site on May 12, 2008. (You can see all of our launch day articles here.)
