The Sunnydale Herald Newsletter, Wednesday, December 25

[burnhername]

Gunn's sitting behind his desk holding a paper while Angel signs it. Angel sits down and stares off into the distance.
GUNN: You sign this, we're all set to turn McManus' body over to his family. They've made arrangements to transport his body back to... the North Pole. Turns out he had a close personal relationship with Santa. Angel?
ANGEL: What? Uh, I'm with you. Turning over the... Santa?

~~Unleashed~~

For various reasons this Herald will be very Tumblr heavy. Many Reddit posts and fics are backlogged and should be posted later this week.
