Wishing all our readers a very Merry Christmas

Thanks to you, our users and advertisers, we've had another great year in 2012.

The site has continued to grow, and that's in no small part to the regular contributors who have made our Forums the best in the business, with clear, impartial advice, a friendly atmosphere, plenty of humour and wide-ranging debates on all manner of topics from hi-fi and home cinema to F1, your favourite foods and tips on how to make the perfect Christmas cake.

It's been a fascinating 12 months. During 2012 we've launched the whathifi.com shop, so you can compare prices on a wide range of products, given the website a fresh new look and revealed our 2012 Award winners.

There's never been such a fantastic range of kit to choose from. Of course, with so much choice it can be a bit baffling at times, which is why we're here to help you make the right buying decision, whatever your budget.

In the meantime, it just remains for everyone here on the What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision team to wish you all a very, very Merry Christmas, wherever you are.

We'll be taking a short break today and tomorrow, but we'll be back online from Boxing Day, swapping tales of who got what for Christmas, checking out the best sales discounts, and offering set-up advice to those lucky enough to have received new kit from Santa.

And don't forget we'll be reporting live from CES in Las Vegas – the biggest consumer electronics show on earth – from January 8th-11th with daily news updates, video reports, blogs and more. So remember to tune in and join in to find out what's in store during 2013.

In the meantime, relax and enjoy the festivities.

Happy Christmas.
