If I summarize this year's New Year's Holidays in a word, that would be "happiness." This is my first time for me in these few years to have had so much time together with my family: We talked a lot (each of us announced our New Year's resolutions), laughed a lot and spent lots of time together (we went to a park nearby to fly a kite!). 
I have saved enough energy for the year 2009, so I can't wait to work tomorrow!
