New Year
(page 2)
And now we welcome the new year. Full of things that have never been.
I know. I'm lazy. But I made myself a New Years resolution that I would write myself something really special. Which means I have 'til December, right?
Every New Year is the direct descendant, isn't it, of a long line of proven criminals?
When I was a child in England before the war, Christmas pudding always contained at least one shiny new sixpence, and it was considered a sign of great good luck for the new year to find one in your helping of the pudding.
For those of us with an inward turn of mind, which is another name for melancholy introspection, the beginning of a new year inevitably leads to thoughts about both the future and the past.
The holidays are only overwhelming because it's crunch time. It's like everyone trying to get last-minute things in before the New Year starts.
May God be with me! May Heaven bless this New Year. May it be a year of fruitfulness, of peace and prosperity; may it be a year of peace and unity for all mankind; may the world be freed of cholera.
I don't believe in New Year's resolutions. I think if you want to change something, change it today and don't wait until the New Year.
The new year begins in a snow-storm of white vows.
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'.
If you asked me for my New Year Resolution, it would be to find out who I am.
I never really make solid resolutions. I think if there's something one needs to change with oneself, it doesn't have to happen in the New Year.
