the most wonderful time of the year

we're almost 3 nights into channukah, 6 days away from winter break, 12 days until christmas. it's been bitterly cold in ny for the last couple of days...no snow yet. it's an odd time of year. the city is packed with people shopping, going to theater and museums, visiting the tree in rockefeller center or just milling about. if you suffer from claustrophobia, it's hard to be in midtown now.

this time of year can also be a bit depressing. the finality of a year - unfulfilled plans, projects, promises makes me wonder where the last 12 months went. and january looms with its clean slate. there are more commercials on tv for nicorettes and weight watchers and viagra. would have thought the third would be condoms...in keeping with taking care of yourself. but it's obviously the time to re-evaluate.

i've never been one to write down new year's resolutions and i'm happy to say that we're still 18 days away from actually needing such a list. i'm such an organized person, a list maker, a to-do person that i would think i'd be a natural for a resolution list. if i put a list together for 2010, i know i don't want to disappoint myself so i'm going to choose carefully and be realistic.

wwcd: maybe my resolution is to make a list of resolutions
