It's that time of year again. I hope you are having as good a Christmas week as you can (regardless of religious, commercial or holiday preferences), and that you have found the time to enjoy family, friends or simply being alone and at peace.

As I said last year, thank you again for sharing your kindness and your friendship, both with myself and others. To those who have been inspired by Fallout: Equestria and who selflessly share your talents with us: thank you for giving us the gifts of your art, your stories, your animation, your readings, your music, and so much more! The presents under our tree overflow, and I couldn't be more thankful.

(In fact, I woke up to an extra special Hearth's Warming present: a new chapter of one of my favorite Fo:E side stories! )

And to all my new followers: thank you for enjoying my story and choosing to follow me. And thank you for all the wonderful comments and favorites.

Here are a few video treats for you to enjoy -- the latest SFM work by the amazing Argodaemon for all you Project Horizons fans (even Blackjack gets a few moments of peace this Hearth's Warming!), a wonderful new song created for the Fallout: Equestria game by Overmare Studios, and (for those who haven't seen it yet) the extremely cool "First Meeting" animatic put out by Killme2paza last month. Enjoy!

And while we're in the wasteland...

Please, everyone, take a moment to acknowledge those less fortunate than ourselves, and to send prayers (or at least well-wishes). And while it's painfully close to one of my favorite Christmas songs, if you can, find a way to give a little charity. Don't just enjoy the brightness of the holiday, but help make it brighter for others.

Merry Christmas!

Joyful Hearth's Warming!

and all the other Happy Holidays!
