It was the year we all just wanted to look away!

LOOK AWAY!

THE YEAR OF THE SNAKE

2025 AND WHERE IT GOT US

THE BEST AND WORST OF 2025

THOSE WE LOST IN 2025

AND… PREDICTIONS FOR 2026

On the Chinese calendar, 2025 was the Year of the Snake, and it really did slither by—sometimes fast, sometimes painfully slow—but either way, it’s now come and gone.


That brings us to our annual Year in Review, a tradition we’ve kept alive for more than 20 years. The good, the bad, and the ugly. What we lost, what stood out, the best and the worst of it all—and yes, our daring prognostications for the year ahead, along with a look back at what we predicted for this one.


We’re all feeling a bit bleak right now. Let’s hope things get a little less Slytherin in ’26.
