This Year's Resolutions
1. I resolve to stop tormenting Blue with puns. Well, at least some of the time.
2. I resolve to continue to be better than Sam at Mario Kart.
3. I resolve to listen carefully to my friends when they give me good advice, because I usually need it when they offer it, whether or not I realize it at the time.
4. I resolve to be more modern in some things, and to stay properly old-fashioned in others.
5. I resolve to trust the people who want to protect me, without immediately insisting that I don't need it.
6. I resolve to find ways to protect myself, so I can occasionally insist that I don't need it.
7. I resolve to be truthful. Especially to myself.
8. I resolve to learn how to drive the car, at least enough to get someone to the hospital if there's another emergency.
9. I resolve to stop worrying about love. Well, at least some of the time.
10. I resolve to make my father proud of me.

Well, last year I made ten resolutions and I ended up keeping all but one of them, so with any luck, this year will be the same. I think those are fine resolutions to have, though, aren't they? Even if some are considerably easier than others to keep.

Still, the point of resolutions is to give us something to think about and to strive for, so it only makes sense that some ought to be more difficult than others. There wouldn't be any point if they were all easy, would there? And if they were all impossibly difficult, one might get discouraged and never complete any at all, and then there'd be no point to that, either. So I think these are just fine, the way they are.

There's still a day and a half left, though. I might still--no. No, I think not. It'll just have to wait. And that's all right, too, isn't it?

Now then, other than setting resolutions, how does everyone plan to celebrate the coming of the new year?

1. I resolve to find something to smile about every day.
2. I resolve to make friends with someone new this year!
3. I resolve to try all sorts of new things that I can't do back home.
4. I resolve to beat Sam at the Mario Kart game again.
5. I resolve to enjoy and make the most of my adventure here in the City, no matter how hard things get at times.

I can hardly believe it's the end of the year already! I suppose I ought to resolve to clean my room more often, but I know that's a resolution that I won't be able to keep, so there isn't much point, really, is there? Though I'll at least have to do it tomorrow, anyway, to get rid of the dust of the old year so the new can start fresh.

Where I'm from, the eve of the new year means two days of feasts and dancing, with lots of noise and music and laughter. And of course Dagonet always drinks too much and Gerwain runs about looking exasperated and Ifnkovhgroghprm comes to visit and tells stories to anyone who will listen...but, of course, it's not anywhere near the new year back home in Daventry, so they won't be celebrating tonight. I'd like to, though! I think it's important to be among friends at the coming of the new year.

How do people in other worlds celebrate the eve of the new year, I wonder?

[OOC: Yup, she has a public list and a private list of resolutions. And this basket will have been delivered to her Secret Santa recipient at some point today; please ignore the mun's failure and assume she tracked him down somehow.]
