I learned about Hasbro's MLP Christmas album from your comments on my recent blog. I'll admit, I was mostly underwhelmed. But aside from the Equestrian Anthem, there was one song which really shone, and which moved me. I consider this an excellent musical note to end the year on:

As we transition into a new year, let us take the time to remember friends and family, both distant and present. And let us reflect on the last year: all that it has given us, and all that we have learned. How we have grown, and how we have grown closer or apart. Let us be thankful for what has passed (and, in some cases, thankful we lived through it), and look forward to what is to come.

Here is to a year with this wonderful fandom, and another year to come.
