Preface: Merry Christmas and happy new year everyone! Just a couple (ok I lied, a lot) of words from our admins and chat mod here at the wiki. Thank you all for being with us this year and to anyone going on holidays, have a fun time and remember to come back to us safe and sound :)

It’s that time again, Christmas and the end of the year is approaching very soon and so it’s time to celebrate but also reflect on the year that has been.

Of course this year for Love Live! we’ve seen a multitude of things: a second season of the anime, 2 games (School Idol Paradise and SiF in English) and of course many songs. In terms of this wiki, we have many more editors (finally some song translators again), a lot of people frequenting chat, Facebook, Twitter and a Skype community (which I only just discovered yesterday ^^). Of course this year we’ve also had Rag get admin at the start of the year (and bureaucrat later on) and KotoriMinami or Mika get Chat Moderator. I think it’s fair to say that both the Love Live franchise and this wiki are constantly growing and expanding at a rapid pace. And again, for that I have to thank everyone who visits this wiki and supports Love Live!. It’s really been a pleasure having you all this year.

As we approach the end of this year, I think it’s also appropriate to look into next year and what’s coming up for Love Live! and this wiki. Of course the big thing next year is the Love Live! movie which I’m sure everyone is excited about and I’m sure there’ll be lots of work going on as we write new pages when it comes out. I don’t think anything else has really been announced yet, but it will be safe to say that there will be lots more music and hopefully another game or two in the next year. As for this wiki, I want to make next year bigger and better than this one and I really hope that everyone with us will join me on this magical ride. Together let’s make 2015 a year to remember!

Now of course, as it is with all my speeches, it’s time to thank the people who have made this year so great. First and foremost, my fellow admins: Eth, Rag and Wynn22, thank you for being with us this year and for all your work you’ve done for this wiki, and a special thanks to Rag and Wynn22 who were keeping this wiki going while Eth and I couldn’t. Of course on a more disappointing note Wynn22 has gone inactive but if you do read this, we’d love to have you back and you’ll always have a place here. Next my thanks goes to our chat mod Mika and everyone who visits the chat, LuciaHunter, Dittogang, FutureUtopia… just to name a few (if I didn’t mention you sorry >.< don’t wanna write a huge list). We’ve had some really fun times together and let’s keep that going. Special thanks to Lucia and Kami for picking up the song translations project and doing some great work on it. And finally thanks to all the editors and viewers, it really couldn’t have been the same year without each and every one of you.

First thing's first, Merry Christmas and/or Happy Holidays to all of you who're actually reading this~! It's been so long since I've joined this wiki and it has grown a lot since, I'm so happy. :') Anyways, I've been seeing a lot of fresh new editors and lurkers who've finally decided to create accounts. Well, I'd like to say "Welcome to Love Live! Wikia and I hope you enjoy your stay!" to all of you, not as an automated bot, but as me, personally. And to those who've been helping out the wiki since who knows when, thank you for staying and I hope we can still work together until the time when there will be no more things to work on, very, very, very (hopefully) far from the future.

To be honest, I was actually informed about writing a Christmas speech by MPA on December 22. And I forgot. I know. I'm a horrible person. I'm sorry. OTL But hey, I was still able to write one, right? XD

Anyways.. I don't know what to say anymore so I'll just close this off with a "MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO EVERYONE!"

Merry Christmas everyone! In my couple of months here, one of the things I never expected to be able to do was to write a speech for everyone. Becoming a chat moderator was one of the things I least expected when I first decided to become a part of this community. It's been an honor to be around here and help contribute to a rising community.

Love Live! is rising as one of the most popular series out there at the moment, and the community we've created is a really a great showcase of it. For this Wikia to continue growing, more contributors and people adding pages, it's incredible how I've watched it from being one and two-man shows to what it's become today. I've never immersed myself into an anime series like I have with this anime, and all-around me it's grown and become a place I love being around. As we await the movie, I can't wait to see what else they decide to add to this series, and I really hope all of you stick around to see it.

I'd like to thank everyone for being so kind to me in my short time here. Ragnarok6354 for being kind to me and giving me a community to stay without any real obligation. MirageFire for helping me fire up the chat when we didn't really know where things would go. To all the admins of this place, for running a strong and continually growing community, even if things got tough where they were seemingly handling everything. Merry Christmas again, and thanks for making this community a fantastic place for me to dwell in, letting myself escape when things got tough. I hope you enjoy your holidays and continue to stay with us here in the Love Live! Wikia.
