We are stuck in a rather weird time frame...  The time between xmas and new year is a very peculiar one. No-one knows exactly what to do, do you go to work? (if your lucky enough to have work!), do you go shopping? (even though you already have everything you want, and anything you do want, you know you won't have the time to enjoy --- like a Wii!!!!). Do you play with all your xmas stuff? (that is if you got toys..), Do you read a book? (i need a book)... Do you just idlely waste your time like you have the last few days under the pretense of 'xmas holiday'?

How about we do some homework?
Find out about different cultures, i am sure not all of earths billions of people dont celebrate xmas, actually i would be surprised if half of them did. -- not even everyone celebrates 'our' new year, some people dont follow our gregorian calender.
Actually, did you know, that until 1990's the University of Helsinki had a monopoly on the sale of calendars in Finland? I didnt until wikipedia told me.

So maybe, instead of trying to grab all the cheap stuff from Myer, we should be thinking about people who do things a little differently from us?

Have a good new year everyone.
