Oh my god that took so long to write. I hope you enjoyed that for the fun and silly thing that it was and don't resent me for writing that all out, over and over again. I also hope that you sang it in your head just like I did. But, to recap in a more sensible way:

• You can now store Spirits at the Science Center, even without a barn
• AND there's a new barn, TWICE the size of the previous biggest barn
• Paolo and Ferra now sell stones and wood, and coal, respectively
• Five new Spirits with a focus on Ice Type
• A new decor item that lets you put twinkly lights on ALL TREES, indoor and outdoor
• A ton of holiday decor stuff
• A Warp Totem that can be placed on any island, which overrides the Warp Statue in town to become your new fast-travel point when you play the Warp Whistle
• The INFINIDUNGEON, found under the Tavern (in the basement)
• The mailbox is improved (more on that below)
• We removed the cap on Spirit levels. No cap. Hahahaha

And the following 12 little fixes:

• Item names that were overflowing the text box at the end-of-day tally will now appear on two lines
• Poinsettia plant will now be available in the Conservatory every day of winter ONLY
• Earth and Water biomes now have their own sets of exclusive fish
• We can now send items in the mail!!
• All letters that send crafting recipes will now have the recipe attached
• A new icon appears on letters with items attached that have not been claimed
• An empty item was appearing in shops. Mysterious. We fixed it
• It's now easier to target NPCs sitting in the tavern
• Fixed a bug with the gates being added to your inventory as an invisible item
• Changed the combat so that speed is more useful and randomness is less random
• Fixed a bug where items couldn't be placed near edges during winter
• Fixed the invisible wall in Dungeon 21

A lot of invisible stuff in this patch! But now it's gone forever. Probably just some leftover Halloween ghosts. Keep an eye out for our separate Steam post detailing the decor stuff! Kate, Community Manager and former choir girl, can you tell
