may I claim Chapter 17?

I wasn't sure if it was allowed, but if we can claim two, I'd also like Chapter 6

You can claim 2 sections; I have noted that you wish to record them in the magic window (MW) above.

Before you start recording them, please complete the 1-Minute Test to ensure your technical settings are correct.

I will take 14 and 15 to put myself in the Christmas spirit :D
If she's passin' back this way
I'm not that hard to find
Tell her she can look me up
If she's got the time

Tatiana,

Thank you for volunteering.

The Christmas Spirit should not be limited to just a few days a year.
