The last weeks of December are wonderful. These days are full of anticipation of a great holiday, in each house, each office, each shopping center, restaurant, fitness club, and so on and so forth, even in the Kremlin — you can feel the fresh air of the coming New Year. All people, be it a tired office manager, a thoughtful system administrator, respectable businessman, or an over-free showman, are "caught" by pleasant New Year's cares: it's a sin to leave your relatives, friends and colleagues without presents, so you have to hurry up! However, this season is interesting not only in its resuscitating atmosphere, but also in a special sacral component, which urges us to stop and think about past events of the year and prioritize our actions for the next year.
