...the last day of the year.

What is it with the day of December 31 that starts everyone reflecting on what they have achieved throughout the year?

And what's with the onslaught of questions - What are your plans tonight? Where are you partying? Who are you hanging out with?

Yet, it is just a day that is passing through. A day that brings you closer to getting older. A day that proves life is getting by.

But you protest: "Tis not the passing by of a day, it's the passing by a year."

Now, that makes the difference.
