Well, it's been an interesting year. Dion and the Liberals tried and failed to sell the Green Shift. Harper and the Conservatives won a minority, then had to prorogue parliament to avoid losing it. South of the border, Obama won a historic presidential election. Iraq and Afghanistan continue to fester. The world faces a deepening economic crisis. And the year ends with Israel launching a serious military offensive in Gaza. But through it all, hope for a better future shines through on this night as people the world over welcome the new year.
Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, may you find peace, health and happiness in 2009. Happy New Year!

Happy New Year RC! Let's all hope it's a better one than last year. :)
According to the Chinese Zodiac, the Year of 2009 is the Year of the Ox. The Ox, or the Buffalo sign symbolizes prosperity through fortitude and hard work.
Well, we need something to give us hope.
Here's to all - best wishes.
Merry New Year, RC. (Sorry! I had to do that, one last Trading Places reference, you know)
