Yes, looks like ANDE will be a re-entry Xmas present.
I will be in Alabama with aged parents and so will not be at my ground station. I hope others will capture that last data. I just updated the ANDE-OPS web page with the latest I have. Plus a plot of temperature and battery voltage. http://www.ew.usna.edu/~bruninga/ande-ops.html
Warming temps at this point are due to increasing beta angle probably and not detectible frictional heating yet.

...I plot the current height of ANDE in the graph:

One might conclude from this that from 220km to de-orbit the graph shows ~12 days, so de-orbit today + ~12 days = ~24 Dec.
There is a good bunch of activity these days; many stations Igate the packets, many stations make contacts via ANDE in these final days.
And: have a look at http://www.ande-deorbit.com for details on the AWARD
