100 year old predictions for 2025; Betsy Ross gets no respect from Cleveland; I guess I am sore afraid after all; Those Elflocks make him a real Snoutfair when he isn't being a Cockalorum; The ball isn't all that drops on New Year's Eve; Every day is New Year's Day; Preserving today for tomorrow (thanks to Ideisha Bellamy for the idea); The real Auld Lang Syne.
