Howdy,

It's the last Raspberry Pi Weekly of 2025?! What a year we've had together.

To round it off, we've got a last-minute Christmas project for you to squeeze in — particularly if you're partial to over-engineered decorations. We've also covered an exceptionally cool Amstrad retrofit, shared a tutorial on how to add your own images to Raspberry Pi Imager, and taken an end-of-year look at all the work we've done to become more sustainable.

I almost forgot — we put the January 2026 issue of Raspberry Pi Official Magazine out early, as a gift to all our beloved readers.

Remember to check the news page on our website for our Christmas Day blog!

Merry, happy, and bright,

Ash
