I think that's pretty respectable. It averages to about 730 words/day.
Now for something else seasonal, a round of Auld Lang Syne:
I know a man
whose name is Lang
And he has a neon sign.
And Mr. Lang is very old
So they call it Old Lang's Sign.
My personal favorite version is the Celtic Rock of Boney M.
Auld Lang Syne
Happy New Year, y'all.
2007 can only be better.
