Why is there an end of the year? Because the calendar imposes numerical order on time. There is a natural fitness in the celebration of the New Year, a holiday of numbers imposed on things, with lists, as well as with Advent calendars and songs like 'The Twelve Days of Christmas'.

You are free; you are free to go to your temples...At the end of the day, you can't compete...What ever disunites man from God, also disunites man...The stars don't look bigger, but they do look brighter...The key to life is accepting challenges...For me that's one of the great indulgences in life...
