For the last six years, I along with 11 others, have made one calendar page for the upcoming year. At first my goal was to get the page turned in before Jan 1, and then it became not to be the last person to turn it in. This year I tried to get it in by deadline (Dec 1) and almost succeeded! Of course, it helped that I have had this idea for the calendar page for three years now.
The information I acquire to complete the calendar pages sometimes is long-lasting - I still wake up with "ants in the pants" rhymes from a calendar page done two years ago. This year I plan to be quite a hit at cocktail parties with my new found knowledge of fun state facts - anytime the conversation lags, I'll be there with a "Did you know in Minnesota, state law requires feet to be placed on all bathtubs?"
P.S. I am getting a little more digital with the calendar creations, but still am relying on crayons, scissors, and glue - this means that the original looks much better than the scanned copy:( Perhaps my goal for next year will be a completely digital version!
