but they really should be worried about

Christmas. ~Author Unknown

Yesterday, everybody smoked his last
cigar, took his last drink and swore his
last oath. Today, we are a pious and
exemplary community. Thirty days from
now, we shall have cast our reformation
to the winds and gone to cutting our
ancient shortcomings considerably
shorter than ever. ~Mark Twain

We will open the book. Its pages are
blank. We are going to put words on
them ourselves. The book is called
Opportunity and its first chapter is New
Year's Day. ~Edith Lovejoy Pierce

For last year's words belong to last
year's language
And next year's words await another
voice.
And to make an end is to make a
beginning.
~T.S. Eliot, "Little Gidding"

Every man should be born again on the
first day of January. Start with a
fresh page. Take up one hole more in
the buckle if necessary, or let down
one, according to circumstances; but on
the first of January let every man gird
himself once more, with his face to the
front, and take no interest in the
things that were and are past. ~Henry
Ward Beecher

The proper behavior all through the
holiday season is to be drunk. This
drunkenness culminates on New Year's
Eve, when you get so drunk you kiss the
person you're married to. ~P.J.

Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
