As a way to reflect on the best of 2013, write down any favorite times had throughout the year. When recalling a memorable moment, write it on a slip of paper and put them all in a jar. Mementos and pictures can also add to the reflection on the year. On New Year’s Eve, open the jar and relive the best experiences; a good way to commemorate the end of another great year.
