Why can't every friday be the last day of the year?

This is the last day at work for me this year. And I noticed a funny behaviour yesterday and this morning. Normally, I would be at work to well...work. But yesterday and also today I have the strong urge to tie all loose ends, to clean up, to start fresh in 2007, to...well...dare I say it...do a Weekly Review. So I was wondering, why is that? Because it is the end of the year ofcourse. But that's nothing than an agreement some old druids, wizards, emperors made a few centuries ago. In actuality, it is just the night from sunday to monday. I wondered about this since my daughter is born. To her, three months old, every day and night is the same. She doesn't care if dinner is served and whether it's turkey, beef or french fries. She wants milk. NOW! Christmas was a bit different for us to say the least :-) The same with coming sunday. Past years, we would visit friends, have a party, go out after midnight and have a few (too many) drinks. This year, we stay at home, just the three of us. And to Tess, sundaynight is like every other night. She needs to be fed at regular times, she needs her sleep and she needs us. It doesn't make a difference
Where does this lead to? Look at your own behaviour. Why do you clean up at the end of the year? Why not treat every friday, or every sunday, like the last (work)day of the year?
