The New Year is almost here, do you plan to make a New Year's resolution?

    I'm trying to be more patient, especially with my young children.

    I start my New Year's resolution a few weeks before so by the time New Year's rolls around, it is not such a shock! I find it easier to stick to if I take a running start at it.

    I don't make New Year's Resolutions. The holiday season is stressful enough without trying to set overly optimistic and unrealistic goals on top of it. I use my birthday as more of a goal setting time so I can just enjoy New Years with a light heart.

    I agree with napastyle, too stressful and to add that to it is absurd. I love the birthday idea as a time to set some goals.

    I don't make resolutions. It's only setting myself up for failure.
