Allyson, I don't care about mushy or sentimental. I loved your post.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I'm all sentimental and mushy
Who are you, and what have you done with the real Allyson?
"Goodbye, Year of the Monkeypants; Hello, Year of the Cock?"
Yeah, that'll keep us from getting filtered. Still prefer Undo it.

The status is NOT quo.
Please forgive me if this is too personal or if I'm making way too much out of something that is really not a big deal. I should say up front that I'm perfectly content with joking about "undoing it", which was obviously meant in the spirit of fun. But, FWIW, I thought I'd throw my two cents in, too.
It hasn't always been the best year, true. There have been some (really) rough spots globally and personally. Still, I always see New Year's Eve as a time of reconciliation. I'm not Jewish, but I love the idea of Yom Kippur, a chance to heal old wounds and seek atonement in preparation for a new year to come [I know the Jewish New Year is actually Rosh Hashanah, but its the closure and resolution of Yom Kippur that I'm trying to describe]. To me, New Year's is a cleansing time like that. It is joyous--sometimes because of the great things that have happened and sometimes just because we are grateful the year is finally over--and it is healing. For me, it is celebratory and reflective.
I would love it if the thread title didn't assume a negative for many reasons--Allyson mentioned many of the wonderful things that have happened to Buffistas--but the main one is because I like the idea of ending the year with hope and humor.
Again, apologies if this is more than needed to be said. Whatever is decided is fine.

What! A Buffista would never accuse you of saying more than needed to be said.

What is even happening?
What! A Buffista would never accuse you of saying more than needed to be said.Well, one might, but s/he needn't be either concise or wholly original while doing so.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Kristin, Allyson, my original throwaway - "Hijacked elections and whiskers on kittens" - was supposed to cover both ends.
Because one rarely has either a perfect year or an unbearable year. (Note I say rarely, not never.)

Yep, valid points. I think there have been lots of great suggestions, and like I said, "undo it" would be fine too.
I think I was just feeling contemplative.
