There are only four nights left in 2012 and there have been 51 Friday night open threads this year (I think at least. It's close.). You can view all of them here.

Typically, I ask our dear readers what their victory of the week was. We usually get a lot of great answers - a new job, a new baby, passing a big test, graduating from an important class.

Tonight, I'm looking for your victory of the YEAR. Yes, the year. Think long and hard AP readers. From January 1st, 2012 to today, what was your biggest victory of the year? I'm on my last bit of juice on the laptop so I'll check in later in the comments. But please chime in with your biggest 2012 victory and rec your favorite comments. We're looking forward to it.
