(Or: Honored Time-Travelers and Patient English Adventurers),
 

It appears that in the festive whirlwind of 2025, I may have been a bit too optimistic with my calendar. While I initially suggested our holiday coupon would stretch into the end of February, I’ve had to perform a small bit of "administrative surgery."
 

As it turns out, even English teachers are subject to the laws of physics and scheduling. To keep things running smoothly and ensure I can give every one of you the focus you deserve, I’ve had to move the coupon’s "expiration party" up to January 31st.
 

Please accept my sincere apologies for any confusion or "calendar whiplash" this might cause. If you were planning to use your gift in February, I hope you’ll consider jumping into the "meandering English adventure" a few weeks early so we can kick off 2026 with a bang!
 

I’m truly looking forward to seeing you all on screen soon. Let’s make this January a month of sentences so smooth they’d make even a cautious editor weep with joy.
 

Warmly,
 

Manning
