It's the last week of the year

It's the last week of the year:
Winding down, celebrate,
Markers set, recalibrate,
'Bests' and 'Worsts' appear.

Dreading 'Year in Review's,
Being told who's on top,
Awaiting Times Square's ball to drop,
Making Brunswick stew.

Breaking bad habits,
Remaking resolutions.
Ahead, another earth-revolution:
It's the Year of the Rabbit.
