Well, that's it. It's the end of the year, and as far as my New Year's resolution goes, I did pretty well. Out of 356 days in the year, I posted an answer to the Writer's Block Question 334 times. I find it amusing that I missed more days the closer that I got to the end of the year. But I kept going.  Even when I missed days, and once an entire week I think, I didn't give up.

Yay me! And now, I will post to this journal when I feel like it, and not because I have to.

Happy New Year's!

Do you usually call your friends and/or family on New Year's Eve? Do you watch the countdown or ball drop on TV or choose to ignore it? What are your favorite New Year traditions?


View 563 Answers


I spend time with family. I watch the ball drop and my family drinks sparkling cider and we pull crackers and eat a lot of food that is very very bad for our collective health.

What, if any, resolutions did you make in 2009 and how many did you keep? Do you plan to make any resolutions for 2010? Do you find this tradition constructive or debilitating?


View 583 Answers


I resolved to answer the Writer's Block question every day in 2009. While I didn't do it completely, I consider it a success because it is the first resolution I have made where even if I didn't get it right away I kept going instead of giving up. I plan to make a lot of resolutions for 2010. While I find it constructive to have a day to make resolutions, I think it is important to make goals outside of New Year's.

How do you usually spend New Years Eve? Do you like big parties, small celebrations with friends, or do you prefer to hang out by yourself? Is New Years a time of reflection for you?


View 881 Answers


Usually, I spend it with my family watching the ball drop in Times Square. As far as parties go, I don't know whether I prefer big parties or small celebrations as I have never been to a big New Year's Eve party. I'd like to. And New Year's is always a time for reflection, although, I usually spend far more time reflecting on what I did wrong over the year, all those messed up resolutions which usually leads to a bout of depression. That is something that I need to change.

When it gets unusually cold, snowy, and/or rainy, do you prefer to remain indoors? If there's a long stretch of bad weather, do you tend to get depressed and/or stir crazy? If so, how do you cope?

I prefer to stay indoors and watch the weather through the window. I don't get depressed because of the weather.

Do you usually experience a let-down after the holidays or a wave of relief that the social obligations are over?

A let down, mostly. Relieved that I don't have to worry anymore about presents and all that, but I love Christmastime and I always feel sad when it is over.

Do you tend to get nostalgic during the holidays? Depressed? Giddy? How do the winter holidays make you feel?


View 632 Answers

Giddy. I end up on a holiday high. I love holidays in general, but Christmas is by far my favorite, what with the music, the snow, the giving (and receiving) of presents, peace on Earth, all that jazz. Merry Christmas!

Have you ever walked off a job on the spot? What drove you to it? Did you regret it afterwards?

Nope, I have never done that. I might though if the situation calls for it. Dishonesty in the work place, or unworkable situations are what I would walk away from.

I'm actually not going anywhere this holiday season. Most of my family lives within a 5 mile radius of each other.

What is the most emotionally challenging aspect of the holidays for you? Do you enjoy this season more or less than you did as a child?


View 822 Answers


For me, the most challenging part of the holidays is dealing with all the Scrooges in the world. I love Christmas; snow, trees, presents, decorations, the music, everything. And it is really difficult to try and keep a cheerful outlook when I am dealing with someone who hates Christmas. I acknowledge that sometimes I get a little carried away, like in singing Christmas music all year round, but really, the idea of peace on Earth and goodwill toward men is something that we should strive for all year, not just between Thanksgiving and New Year's.

How have technology and the Internet changed the way your family spends time together?

It is much easier to keep in touch with family members that live on either coast. Easier to share pictures and stories about new family members. Although it certainly takes away from the immediate family, everyone focusing on the internet instead of spending time together.

Tough question. I think I would have to go with sight. I don't think I could stand it if I couldn't read or see a sunset. There is so much to see in this world, and I have seen so little of it.
