Obligatory Christmas Eve post incoming!

Christmas is that magical time of year when families from far and wide gather together to exchange gifts, sing songs, eat great turkey, and love and tolerate each other. Except for the little cousins. They get no niceties from me.

So of course, I had to make a Christmas Eve "What I'm Thankful For" blaug post. Bear with me. I'm thankful for...

* My health, of course. No pneumonia, no six-year strep throat, no twisted ankles or hacking up blood clots for me this year!

* The amazing opportunities presented to me this year, including Steens Mountain Running Camp, the Team Marathon race at the Olympic Trials in Eugene, and the USATF National Junior Olympics race, just to name a few. And I SWEAR I do more than run.

* My friends and family. Yeah, I rag on you guys all year - and frankly, you deserve it - but without you I would be a lonely ole' curmudgeon. Or a crazy cat lady.

Special shout-out to my number one, hands down bestest friend ever: @@NeonDinosGoMeow. You're awesome, even with dual citizenship.

And, of course...

* YOU GUYS. Yeah, admit it: you saw this coming. I honestly wish I could tag every member and let them know how amazing they are. And, frankly, I think it is unfair to do this, but some users deserve an extra little nod.

@Nicholas Cage: Yous a cool person - very interesting and different, and that is what the world needs more of. I'm glad to call you a friend. On a side note, I could NOT for the life of me tag you. Sorry.

@: You haven't been here all that long, but as writers you and I have that super-awesome writer's bond. You're writing a great fic, and I thank you for your support and encouragement with my own story.

@@Crystal Skull: You've been a great supporter of my terribad writing, and for the extra push of encouragement from you I am thankful.

@Shield Generator: First off, you, sir, need to join this site. Second off, you taking on the immense challenge of editing my story is cause for a big hug and a cup of coffee on me sometime. I know I don't update super fast, and my silly mistakes probably grate on your nerves after a while, but I wouldn't be getting the praise from ^ those people up there if it wasn't for the hours(?) of work you put into fixing my fic. So consider every positive comment about the story a positive comment to you as well, because you have certainly earned those compliments.

@Anyone reading or not reading this: You're a pony fan, and that makes you awesome in my book.

I feel like I'm forgetting people (in fact I know I am), but I'll probably add them later. It's been a long day of friends, family, and turkey, and I need a nap. In short, MLPForums...
