"Choose your own update notes adventure! Pick only one: A, B, or C.

A. The holidays are coming up and we've been busy planning a celebration of bug bashes and performance enhancements, so get merry and smash that update button.

B. Shorter days, longer nights, colder temps. You know what helps the Winter blues?

Instant gratification. Tap update, watch that progress bar fill up, and feel the dopamine flow.

C. Whoever made up the mistletoe thing was crazy. You know what's not? Updating your app."

This... also serves no useful purpose.
