** We made you some presents!
------------------------------------------------------------

We want to thank you for following along with everything we’ve done at mySociety this year, so we’ve put together some fun activities for you to enjoy.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is in three parts...


** 1. Listen to the mySociety playlist
------------------------------------------------------------
[link removed]

We asked mySociety staff to compile a list of songs ([link removed]) that reflect our work across Democracy, Transparency, Community and Climate.

Enjoy! There are some real bangers in there, as the young people say. And for extra points, can you figure out what connection each song has to mySociety? Some are obvious, while others require a little more thought.
Listen now ([link removed])


** 2. Try our quizzes and games
------------------------------------------------------------


** Crossword
------------------------------------------------------------
Know your constituencies? OK, probably not as well as some of our staff do, given they're dealing with them on such a regular basis. But if you're any good at cryptic crosswords ([link removed]) , you should be able to puzzle out the answers, each one of which is a UK constituency.


** Connections
------------------------------------------------------------
For those who enjoy the New York Times’ game
Connections, we’ve copied the format: there's an easy one ([link removed]) , a medium one ([link removed]) and a fiendishly hard one ([link removed]) .

Not familiar with this game? The idea is to group the words into four categories. Click four words that you think have a common theme, and see if you’re right.


** Guess the name
------------------------------------------------------------
MPs and constituencies as emojis...yes, you heard right. Can you figure out which we've spelled out using only tiny images? Have a go here ([link removed]) .


** 3. Enjoy mySociety staff recommendations
------------------------------------------------------------

If you’re looking for ideas for things to read, watch, listen to or do, we’ve got you covered. Find out what floated the boats of mySociety people ([link removed]) in 2024 — and maybe get some ideas for novel Christmas gifts while you’re at it!
That’s it for this year — all that remains is to wish you the happiest of holidays, from all of us here at mySociety, and to remind you that if you're looking to support a charity at this time of year you can donate ([link removed]) to put more power in more people’s hands so that together we can build a fairer, safer future!
Merry Christmas and happy new year. Fairy lights, fir branches, dangly decorations and snowflakes
