So what can we do to stretch those creative muscles? The author suggests that we:

Welcome to the New Year with U2’s song New Year’s Day (link to: YouTube.com) …
Yeah
All is quiet on New Year’s Day
A world in white gets underway
I want to be with you
Be with you, night and day
Nothing changes on New Year’s Day
On New Year’s Day
I will be with you again
I will be with you again
Under a blood red sky
A crowd has gathered in black and white
Arms entwined, the chosen few
The newspapers says, says
Say it’s true, it’s true
And we can break through
Though torn in two
We can be one
I, I will begin again
I, I will begin again
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Ah, maybe the time is right
Oh, maybe tonight
I will be with you again
I will be with you again
And so we’re told this is the golden age
And gold is the reason for the wars we wage
Though I want to be with you
Be with you night and day
Nothing changes
On New Year’s Day
On New Year’s Day
On New Year’s Day

In this video, Ron White tell us how he uses the “Mind Palace” to remember numbers. He says that anyone can learn these techniques.
He makes it all sound so easy. He creates pictures for the numbers 1 – 20. And he also creates pictures for all the letters of the alphabet. And then he uses the furniture in his house! You must listen to him explain all this in detail.
One of my favourite games as a child was playing dominos. It’s a game with small rectangular tiles, each with a line dividing its face into two square ends. Each end is marked with a number of spots or is blank. We played it a lot at Christmas.
Here in Germany, we have “Dominosteine” (domino bricks or stones) which are filled with gingerbread and coated in chocolate and often eaten at Christmas. I don’t like them much, but I know a lot of people do.
Are you planning a New Year’s Eve party and haven’t been able to give it much thought because of Christmas? Marieclaire.com might inspire you.
What about organising a last-minute Black and White party or a Glitter party or a Black Light party or a Mini Everything party? My favourite is the Midnight in Paris party. However, I’ll probably be enjoying a quiet New Year’s Eve – with good food, good company and a good film. Something light and not too serious. Not for the last day of the year!
