1 - My husband and I went and saw the Cape County lights display. We also had Christmas with his family and we're actually doing Christmas in a couple weeks with my family. I also had a Christmas party at work.
2 - I will be in Texas with all of my family and I don't know what our plans are as of yet, but I'm sure it will be fun.
3 - I've never really been one to make New Year's resolutions, but I do many times have things that I hope will happen in the coming year or things that I look forward to possibly accomplishing.
4 - I just graduated college, so I put a lot of focus on my career so I have some hopes in the direction that I'm hoping it will go and for another good year that will bring some great things.

1 - I went to church with my family to the children's Christmas program. Then, I went back to the house to open presents.
2 - I plan on ringing in the new year at my house with my family, probably watching the ball drop.
3 - I don't really know how I feel about New Year's resolutions. I think it's kind of an excuse for people.
4 - I wish for the world to quit being so critical of other people. Let's just get along with each other and not care what other people say or think. If it doesn't effect you negatively or disrespect you in any way, don't worry about it.

1 - I went home for Christmas in Kennet, Mo. We had a large party with dinner and opening gifts.
2 - I don't have any plans for New Year's Eve.
3 - I haven't made any resolutions, really. I think resolutions are a silly thing to do.
4 - My wish for 2014 is to become a nurse.

1 - I just celebrated with my family. Every other event was cancelled because of the weather.
2 - I'll probably just stay at home or maybe if some friends call, and they sound like good company, I'll go hang with them.
3 - I don't make them.
4 - What I would like in 2014 is for my friends and family to have a better run of luck than what they had in 2013.
