I declare this as Eat as Much as You Can Before Midnight, Day.:
Any calories consumed can be worked off, next year.
I can't find a food holiday for tomorrow, but as you might expect, several drink suggestions. So, I declare tomorrow as as Eat as Much as You Can Before Midnight, Day.: Any calories consumed can't be worked off, until next year.
It will of course be 'New Year's Eve'.
[The Hankster says] Let's be careful out there.
Tomorrow will also be 'Make Up Your Mind Day'.
[The Hankster says] One last reminder to finish up those resolutions. I am currently trying to finish mine by simultaneously jogging on my tread mil while writing thank you notes with one hand, fixing the toaster with the other, listening to a language tape and mentally balancing my check book. I regret to say that, just like on Jun 31 of this year, a leap second will again not be added to December 31. I could really, really use it.
If you do have to work tomorrow, this holiday is for you. It will be 'No Interruptions Day'.
[The Hankster says] Most likely the office idiot got the day off, so a least you won't have to put up with hem/her. You might get something done and not have to do their work also.
We have an awareness day tomorrow. It will be 'World Peace Meditation Day'.
John Dos Passos said, in 1917, 'Why won't they let a year die without bringing in a new one on the instant, can't they use birth control on time? I want an interregnum. The stupid years patter on with unrelenting feet, never stopping — rising to little monotonous peaks in our imaginations at festivals like New Year's and Easter and Christmas — But, goodness, why need they do it?'.
[The Hankster says] Why, need they do it? This post would be in a world of hurt, if they didn't. But let us see if the energy spent in marking the passage of time is worth it. I bet we can make an evaluation based on December 31 in the past. BTW, I also had to look up interregnum: 'a period when normal government is suspended, especially between successive reigns or regimes. Or an interval or pause.' Your welcome.

December origin (from Wikipedia): '
December gets its name from the Latin word decem (meaning ten) because it was originally the tenth month of the year in the Roman calendar, which began in March. The winter days following December were not included as part of any month. Later, the months of January and February were created out of the monthless period and added to the beginning of the calendar, but December retained its name.

December is the first month of meteorological winter in the Northern
Hemisphere. In the Southern Hemisphere, December is the seasonal equivalent

ecember is the month with the shortest daylight hours of the year in the
Northern Hemisphere and the longest daylight hours of the year in the
Southern Hemisphere.
