Another year, another myriad of friends coming and going. A handful of old, and handful of new in this year's recap, I'm grateful for each and every one of you. Here are just a few of you and, in the celebration of Gen VI of Pokémon, I thought I'd put you into a nice box~

Enjoy :3

Sirnight

Impish Nature

Somewhat stubborn

Yeah, you were never getting out of this one, no matter how much art I may or may not give you >P

One of the only two people who's been here from the beginning. My life would be so different without you. You've given me more than you'd ever admit, and I couldn't be more grateful. I can't wait to see you in the summer; Merry Christmas, my 'Pix.

Dracina

Sassy Nature

Likes to fight

Nothing I can say here you don't already know. You're a bitch, I can't stand to live with you, and I can't imagine a life without you. Thanks for another year.

Blulix

Quirky Nature

Good perseverance

Thank you so much to you, Lit, Kevin and Sara for providing such a great home to to visit on many occaisions. I really enjoyed New Years last year, and I have no doubt that this year will be the same. Have a great christmas!

Karaway

Adamant Nature

Strong willed

Merry Secular Celebration, asshole :P Your friendship through the year has been wonderful, especially at Confuzzled and my many visits! I hope to have many more great times with you, and your new fursuit, in the future.

Wrince

Calm Nature

Likes to relax

To the eccentric rat, I have to say thank you for all the times this year when you've given me a great time, particularly all the way to Turkey for a wonderful two and a half weeks. I hope I can tag along again at some point, but at the moment, thank you for being a good friend, and for also giving me a place to stay over Christmas!

Poof

Timid Nature

Impetuous and silly

I don't care if the sprite is inaccurate. I'm not changing it, you fag :P Thanks for being there for me all of the year, you've been someone I know I can come to and talk with regarding anything in my life, and a great friend to gossip with. I hope I can make a difference in yours too! See you this summer~

Kai

Bashful Nature

Mishievous

One of the newer friends here, you've quickly become someone I enjoy talking to and look forward to chatting with. With many talents, a huge imagination and plenty of interesting characters, you're someone I'm sure I'll be talking to for a long time.

Rune

Bold Nature

Thoroughly cunning

Oh, Rune, one of my oldest friends here. You've been a great person to talk to, and you've known me for a few years, through many different phases. You've been a great person, always fascinating to talk to, and someone I'm always bound to have fun with~ Take care at this solstice, hun :3

Kiro

Careful Nature

Strongly defiant

My very first pet, you're a very interesting person to chat with. Talented at Pokémon, and with not a small amount of sass in the right forms, I still say you're rather cute~ I hope you have a good year, and that I get to know you even better :3 Take care, Kiro.

Frank

Rash Nature

Very finicky

Another one of the newer friends here, I remember meeting you at that first furmeet a few months ago. You're a really fun person with a kind heart and a super fun personality, and I can't wait to see what the new year will bring for you!

Rogue

Jolly Nature

Highly curious

One of my biggest fans, without a doubt l3 You need to stop making me feel like I'm some kind of god of art. You're a very bouncy individual who's always got a smile on his face, and I hope you stay optomistic in the new year :3 Merry Christmas!

Vocal Score

Gentle Nature

Alert to sounds

This year has seen you get a huge boost in support and an amassing of fans as you delve into Pony music, but I was there long before they were >P I'm so very glad to have you as a friend, and I've enjoyed our many chats, including the many hours we spent chatting during my 24 hour art stream. Merry Christmas, and I can't wait to see what you have planned for us in the new year ^^

Rixie

Quirky Nature

Likes to run

Someone else who's always bouncy and optimistic, you've been a great light in my life. From singing along to Disney songs with me to just hanging out at the Manchester Furmeets, I've had a wonderful time with you. I wish you and Jared a very Merry Christmas, and a happy new year!

Adversus -  Ociocat

Brave Nature

Highly persistent

Another year for you, another time of showing me just how strong you are. Dealing with college, a new life, and all the bad situations that have befallen you; none of these have beaten you down, and you've always gotten back up stronger. I hope the next year goes better for you - Merry Christmas, Ocio!

Kiara

Calm Nature

Proud of her power

Another great year, and not a few weekends staying over at yours and having lots of fun in the process. You're a good friend, and someone I can depend on for a fun, relaxing weekend. I hope you have a great Christmas, and a better new year.

Sear

Naughty Nature

Somewhat of a clown

Before you ask, this picture is niether nostwiw, wuv, or eggy. Either way, I hope you enjoy it >P You're a fun person with a lot of intelligence that you need to show more of x3 I hope your endeavours into art go well, and I wish you the best for the new year :3

And to those I couldn't fit in including (but not limited to) Enthis, Tana, Wug and everyone else in the BBFB chat, Six, Itachi, Lester, Zip, EoT, Fox and all the others in the TTT chat, Allan, and all those at the Manc Meets, on here as my watchers and favers, and everyone else reading this, I say a great big Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. May you all be happy and successful in all your endeavours, and have a great year ahead!
