Reflecting on this Christmas Eve & Beyond

Hello, everyone! It is hard to believe that Christmas Eve is here already — and it's hard to believe that I'm making a post this late (of course, I should say early because it's 7:10 AM already)! I did not go to bed yet — oh well, I can sleep in! Anyways, the memories of New Year's Day, Easter, 4th of July, Halloween, Election Day, Thanksgiving are still vivid in my memory: I can almost describe them like they happened yesterday! Overall, this year turned out pretty well for me, and I hope 2012 was a great year for you, too! I'm looking forward to Christmas, and to a new year once again! 2012 seemed like a year of hope at the beginning, but lingering hard times still brought down many of our spirits. Hopefully, 2013 will bring us a renewal of hope, peace, happiness, and prosperity. In the meantime, spend a small amount of time seeing where Santa is delivering gifts with either Google Santa Tracker or NORAD (temporary webpage) — this has lots to do with geography, and boy is it fun! Anyways, I hope you have a great Christmas Eve, Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!
