The important thing is to have enough nutritious food in you just to keep you going till that wonderful moment when the clock strikes midnight for the New Year, all night till you see the first sunrise of 2011, and... for your dreams coming true.
Happy New Year 2011 everybody and may God bless you all.
See you on January 3rd, 2011
Sincerely,
Stelio
