What are your New Year\u2019s resolutions (if any)?<\/b><\/p>\n
Jonathan Friesen:<\/b> Floss. I say that and people say, \u201cEww! You don\u2019t floss?\u201d But I know they probably don\u2019t either. I don\u2019t know why it\u2019s so hard. The floss is right there by the brush. The brush is easy to pick up, but that floss \u2026 it\u2019s a battle. <\/span><\/p>\n Evangeline Denmark: \u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n Write a book.<\/span><\/p>\n Train Neville the Cat to fight against Lord Voldemort. <\/span><\/p>\n Make new friends who have very different backgrounds and experiences than my own.<\/span><\/p>\n Come to terms with the fact that I look bad in lavender.<\/span><\/p>\n Keep becoming who I was meant to be.<\/span><\/p>\n Lorie Langdon:<\/b> I\u2019m a goal setter, but overarching New Year\u2019s resolutions never work for me. I do better with very specific achievable goals, such as: I will write 1000 words every day this week. Or, I will start out each day this month with scripture and time with God. <\/span><\/p>\n Stephanie Morrill: <\/b>Mine tend to be tweaks rather than major life overhauls. I am very clich\u00e9 in that I always have something on there about exercising more, and I never follow through.<\/span><\/p>\n Christina June:<\/b> Celebrate launching my debut novel!<\/span><\/p>\n Any New Year\u2019s Eve or New Year\u2019s Day traditions?<\/b><\/p>\n Evangeline Denmark: <\/b>On New Year\u2019s Eve we play games and do puzzles until midnight, and then we make hats out of tinfoil and wear them out into the street where we inspect our neighbors\u2019 houses for signs of alien invasion. On New Year\u2019s Day we wish we\u2019d never put up our 12 foot Christmas tree.<\/span><\/p>\n Lorie Langdon: <\/b>We are usually invited to a party or two, and sometimes we\u2019ll make an appearance. But as an introvert, I prefer to spend New Year\u2019s Eve at home, playing board games and watching movies with my family.<\/span><\/p>\n Stephanie Morrill: <\/b>We always spend New Year\u2019s Eve at home. At 11, after we\u2019ve watched the ball drop in New York, I start petitioning to go to bed. Now that we have a baby in the house, my husband usually agrees that\u2019s a good idea.<\/span><\/p>\n New Year\u2019s Day we loaf around the house. We watch the rose parade, which I find fascinating, and eat a big lunch and play games. Sometimes we take down Christmas decorations, but mostly we just relax.<\/span><\/p>\n Christina June:<\/b> Not really \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\n What are your resolutions and traditions?
