Well it's the 12th of January already and chances are:

*This is based on actual academic research , see my APA style citation at the bottom of this blog post. It would also be scholarly of me to mention that this research refers specifically to North Americans so please don't let it get you down too much.
If you're in the Mabo Library in Townsville why not check out our New Year's display.
