Holidays

There are only 2 days left in the year, yet I can't help but think of today as Friday. Maybe it's because I've been traveling, maybe it's because I place no particular value on the number after the month part of the date. But when I think about it, New Years is one of the only secular holidays! Shouldn't I be "pushing" it? It's better than St. Blabla or xmas (although I'm trying to replace that with Festivus). Maybe I feel it is useless and counter productive to attack religion on it most positive note: a holiday.
